HP instant ink

[x041]

I have an HP Officejet Pro 8620. I am subscribed to HP Instant Ink. Recently the printer has not been able to connect to HP Instant Ink. There is a regular error message telling me that the printer is not connected to HP and I should reconnect it. It will not reconnect. I cannot ignore this as the printer stops until I attempt to reconnect to HP Instant Ink. Anybody have any ideas?

Verizon FIOS did change the router recently. My phone, PCs TVs, Alexa, home security and other equipment works just fine. Any Ideas?

Hi @x041,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you need are not able to connect to Web Services(Instant Ink Server). Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

To assist better:

• Is the blue Wi-Fi light solid on the printer? ( if the Wi-Fi Light is blinking then please re-connect the printer back to your Wi-Fi router - Restore Wi-Fi setup mode on your HP printer, Once you restore the network to defaults, then please follow the instructions on this link to connect the printer back to your PC.)
• How far is the printer located from the WiFi router?
• Do you have a dual-band router?
• If you have a dual-band router and both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks share the same name/SSID, the printer will not be able to connect to the network. In this case, contact your Internet service provider to assign different names to both networks.

While you respond to that let's try the below suggestions:

Restart the computer, printer, and router

• To resolve many connectivity issues, restart the computer, printer, and router.
• NOTE: The following steps temporarily disconnect network and Internet connections, and require restarting your computer. Complete any tasks or downloads in progress before you continue.
• Turn off the router by pressing the power button or disconnecting the power cord.
• Turn off the printer.
• Close all running programs on your computer, and then shut down the computer.
• Press the power button or reconnect the power cord to the router, and then wait for the Internet activity light to display a normal connected status.
• Turn on the printer.
• Turn on the computer.
• Try to turn on Web Services.
• If the issue persists, continue to the next step.

Let's disable webservices and re-enable it

• Touch on the wifi icon ((i)) on the printer, and take down the IP address
• Open a web browser (ex Chrome or Mozilla) and type in the printer's IP
• click on webservices and remove webservices and re-enable it
• If the issue persists, proceed to the next step.

Update the printer firmware

• HP regularly releases printer updates. Updating the printer firmware might resolve the issue.
