HP+ Printer Can't Be Claimed Here

[rbisceglie]

This printer had previously been enrolled in Instant Ink under my ex-husband's name/e-mail address. It now belongs to me. I have set up the printer through HP Smart on my computer. The problem I am having is when I try to enroll in Instant Ink, I make it all the way through to entering in my printer code. Every time I type in my printer code, I get the message, "Your HP+ printer can't be claimed here. This is a new printer that needs to be set up using HP Smart Software or app." I am very confused by this. Please help!

Hi. Thanks for replying. Unfortunately that did not help. I spent 8 hours (non-stop) on the phone and chat with HP support yesterday and there is still no resolution to my problem. And unfortunately now I can’t even use my printer because a bunch of lights are blinking from whatever was done via remote access.
