I am finding the instant ink program is costing way more than buying regular ink, and I have to constantly worry if i'm going over my pages for the month - which is ridiculous when printing on a print you bought and paid for and Ink you have bought and paid for several times over by this point.
If I cancel, can I still print?

Welcome to the HP English Community --
The Instant Ink subscription has always been optional / voluntary.
Yes, you can print without subscribing to the ink service.
Things to know...
What happens?
After the contract is terminated -- and regardless of how or why that comes about -- all Instant Ink / Subscription cartridges stop working.
What?
You never own the Instant Ink / Subscription cartridges.
All Instant Ink cartridges, including those cartridges activated as part of the service and all Instant Ink / Subscription cartridges sent to you while the contract is active, stop working after the contract is ended.
After the contract is terminated
Remove all the Instant Ink / Subscription cartridges -- these can (should) be returned to HP (free service
and
Purchase a new set of HP ink cartridges and install them in the printer.
