HP instant ink error

[KevinCWW]

I bought this printer last October and I enrolled the HP instant ink right after I started to use the printer. My old ink ran out today and I changed the new instant ink. But after I installed the new instant ink, I cannot print anymore!! It said "Cartridge cannot be used until printer is enrolled in HP instant ink."

I have checked the wifi connection and the printer shows as wifi connected on both the printer and pc. On the HP instant ink page my printer shows enrolled in HP instant ink (in the Printer Details) and the it also shows my printer is online. But on the left the refresh icon it shows "Cannot connect to printer now" . 

It is really upsetting. The server can detect my printer online but can't connect it? After spending 2 hours trying to fix this problem, I still cannot print my document because the printer/server connection problem. I even ran the HP Print and Scan Doctor software. The problem is still there.  It is so frustrating. Can someone tell me how to fix it?
