We are having a hard time using our printer without being enrolled in HP instant ink program.  Can you help us run the printer without it?

Hi @mollysmowers,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

Certainly, I can help you with that. If you want to use your HP printer without enrolling in the HP Instant Ink program, you can follow these steps.

 

Disable Web Services:

  • On the printer control panel, navigate to "Setup," then "Web Services," and select "Disable."

Remove Instant Ink Cartridges:

  • If you have cartridges provided by HP Instant Ink, replace them with regular HP ink cartridges.

Reset the Printer:

  • Turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source.
  • Wait for about 60 seconds and then plug it back in.
  • Turn the printer back on.

Resetting the Network:

  • If your printer is connected to a network, you may need to reset the network settings. Go to the "Network" or "Wireless" settings on your printer and choose "Restore Network Defaults."

Use Standard Cartridges:

  • Make sure you are using regular HP ink cartridges instead of the ones provided by the Instant Ink program.

Configure Printer Settings:

  • On your computer, go to "Devices and Printers" (Windows) or "Printers & Scanners" (Mac).
  • Right-click on your printer and choose "Printer Properties" or "Options & Supplies."
  • Look for any settings related to HP Instant Ink and make sure they are turned off.

Update Printer Firmware:

  • Check for firmware updates for your printer on the HP support website and install any available updates.

Printer Driver:

  • Make sure you have the latest printer driver installed on your computer. You can download it from the HP support website.

Avoid Automatic Updates:

  • When installing printer software or drivers, be cautious about accepting automatic updates that may include Instant Ink features.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have a good day.
