‘File type not supported’ - this notification comes up when I try to print from the documents on my

[Lizbet2]

The notification ‘ file not supported’ appears when I try to print from my iPad notebook so I am unable to print.

Also although my black ink cartridge looks only half full but my account says I am not in need of ink. Would like a replacement , but don’t know how to contact instant ink without a potentially expensive phone call. How close do Instant ink leave it before you run out?
Many thanks,

Liz

Hi @Lizbet2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

I'd like to help!

understand you are unable to print with your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist you better:

• May I have the exact model name of the product? Refer to this document for steps to find the product details. Do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc.
• Is the blue Wi-Fi light solid on the printer? ( if the Wi-Fi Light is blinking then please re-connect the printer back to your Wi-Fi router - Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on your HP printer, Once you restore the network to defaults, then please follow the instructions on this link to connect the printer back to your PC.)
• How far is the printer located from the WiFi router?
• 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,  please follow the below steps to resolve the issue.

1. Touch and hold the app.
