Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What exactly are any error messages on the printer or computer screen?
The document here has information on contacting HP to get replacement Instant Ink cartridges. Log into the HP Instant Ink site, the phone number (or chat option for some countries) will be listed in the lower right of the opening screen.
I am not an employee of HP, I am a volunteer posting here on my own time.
