Product: Deskjet 2630

I bought a Deskjet 2630 printer which is working and is on my network as I can print from my iPad. However i am trying to set up free Instant Ink but I can't do this. It tells me my printer is not connected to the network and won't give me a code to proceed. I tried phoning HP but was held waiting before I gave up. Do they want me to sign up for a paying Instant Ink and the free one is a con?

Hi @Silverfox15

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the Instant Ink enrollment. 

 

Make sure your printer and the iPad are connected to your home network and then try these steps to print the claim code -

 

1) From the printer control panel, press the Wireless button and the Information button together to print the network configuration page.

2) Find out the IP address or hostname of the printer from the network configuration page.

3) In a supported web browser on your computer or a mobile device, type the IP address or hostname assigned to the printer.

For example, if the IP address is 192.168.0.12, type the following address into a Web browser: http://192.168.0.12.

4) Click the Web Services tab.

5) In the Web Services Settings section, click Setup, click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions to accept the terms of use.

6) If prompted, choose to allow the printer to check for and install printer updates

7) When the printer is connected to the server, the printer prints an information page. Follow the instructions on the information page to finish the setup.

 

To know more, please refer to step#1 "Printers without a touchscreen or text-based display" from this document.  

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
