Somebody gifted me some ink printer cartridges they had purchased via HP Instant Ink. If I recall correctly, they upgraded their printer, and returned the old incorrect cartridges, but then they received a 2nd shipment of the cartridges in addition to the correct ones for their new printer. So, the lady offered them up in a FB group (Buy Nothing, nationwide), and gifted them to me. I went to use the first one the other day, and I guess I'm blocked from using it. Is there a way for me to use them -- I hate them to simply go to waste! TIA.

Hi @acford59,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd like to help!
The cartridges you got as a gift are for instant ink printers only and I am afraid those ink cartridges may not work on any other printer.
You may refer to this document here.
