I'm trying to enroll my printer in Instant Ink, but I can't get past the step of connecting the printer. I keep getting this message:

Hi @lp2019,

 

Welcome to the HP support community.

 

I understand that you are unable to enroll the printer to instant ink, I am glad to assist you.

  • This message usually indicates a problem with HP Web Services. Follow these steps to fix the problem.
  • Check to make sure web services are enabled. Follow the steps in Cannot connect to Web Services for help with web services.
  • Finish setting up and enrolling the printer:
  • If the Instant Ink Submit Order window is still open, click Enroll.
  • If the window is not open, use the HP Smart app to set up the printer.
  • See HP printer setup (HP Smart app) for more help.
  • If the printer is already set up but not enrolled, go to HP Instant Ink and click Sign Up Now.

Keep me posted.

Thanks for your reply, Elohi. I checked the Web Services through the EWS and it shows that the printer is connected and web services are enabled. I also reset to factory settings and reconnected, etc. just in case. And even checked if a firmware update was needed, which it was not. Again, it's showing me that web services are enabled and the printer is connected.

However, when I try to finish setting up HP+ and Instant Ink, I'm still getting the same message from before, that it is unable to connect the printer. (And I don't know if this matters, but I've tried the setup from the app on both my phone and laptop).

Is there anything else I can try?

I forgot to add...I've also tried doing the enrollment from the Instant Ink website, which has a different problem. I can get to the point of choosing the plan and entering shipping info, but it won't allow me to enter a shipping address in Denmark (where I live) despite the fact that I've been using the Danish site. The shipping country is stuck as the US, with no option to change it:

I tried putting in my address to see if it would "catch up" and let me change the country, no luck. I've tried different browsers, different devices, still no luck. I chatted with HP support on WhatsApp and they had no solution that worked either. And as far as I can tell, my HP account and the printer have the location set to Denmark. I don't know what else to do!
