Cannot print or scan. Message that cannot use ink cartrige until registered in HP Instant ink

[Tina156]

My printer once hard restarted, shows the message, "Cartridge cannot be used until printer enrolled in HP Instant Ink, which it is.  The only option is to Hide message.  Once message is hidden, There is a message to Align the Print head.  Continue is the only option.  Then printer is stuck in "printing the alignment page".

Also, the printer cannot be shut down unless power cable removed.  Please help.  Thank you.
