Error stating that "Cartridge cannot be used until printer is enrolled in HP Instant Ink.

[jazzyrjk]

We have an error issue with our HP OfficeJet Pro 8025. We subscribe to HP Instant Ink, but the printer is displaying a message that "Cartridge cannot be used until printer is enrolled with HP Instant Ink". Our printer is connected to our wireless network, but HP cannot connect and the printer shows that it is offline (probably due to the error message). We had a 5 second power outage that seems to have caused this. We initially had a "install setup cartridge" message, but overrode that as our printer is almost three years old.

Hi @jazzyrjk,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I'd like to help!

To assist better:

• Do you have a dual-band router?
• If you have a dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.

While you respond to that let's try the below suggestions:

Restart the computer, printer, and router

• To resolve many connectivity issues, restart the computer, printer, and router.
• NOTE: The following steps temporarily disconnect network and Internet connections, and require restarting your computer. Complete any tasks or downloads in progress before you continue.
• Turn off the router by pressing the power button or disconnecting the power cord.
• Turn off the printer.
• Close all running programs on your computer, and then shut down the computer.
• Press the power button or reconnect the power cord to the router, and then wait for the Internet activity light to display a normal connected status.
• Turn on the printer.
• Turn on the computer.
• Try to turn on Web Services.
• If the issue persists, continue to the next step.

Let's disable web services and re-enable it

• Touch on the wifi icon ((i)) on the printer, and take down the IP address
• Open a web browser (ex Chrome or Mozilla) and type in the printer's IP
• Click on web services and remove web services and re-enable it
• If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.

Check the Internet proxy server settings

• For networks that use proxy servers, update the Web Services settings in the printer EWS with the proxy information.
• Locate the Internet proxy settings.
• Windows: Search Windows for Internet, and then click Internet Options in the list of results. On the Internet Properties window, click the Connections tab, select your network, if necessary, and then click Settings.
  The network settings menu displays with the proxy settings.
  From the EWS, click the Web Services tab, and then click Proxy Settings.
• Type the Address and Port values for your proxy server connection, and then click Apply.
• Try to turn on Web Services.

Update the printer firmware

• HP regularly releases printer updates. Updating the printer firmware might resolve the issue.
• Refer -- HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
