Hi,
I have the HP OfficeJet 3831 and I currently have the insant ink plan.
I would like to know. If I cancel the plan, and purchase my own ink will the printer work or with this printer do you have to be signed up to the ink plan? As If I have any Internet issues I am unable to just print.
Can any on help with the information?
Thanks.
