Is it possible to print without the HP subscription. I have a number of cartridges and I can't see the benefit of subscribing. 

Thank you

Welcome to the HP English Community --

 

If you are subscribed now,

If the cartridges you have are Instant Ink / Subscription cartridges,

then

Cartridges are made available during an active subscription to the service.

After the contract is ended, the cartridges lock and cannot be used in any printer.

 

HP Agent Alden4: “HP Instant Ink cartridges are designed to work only with HP's Instant

Ink subscription service. They are programmed to communicate with HP's system to verify

the subscription status, and they won't function if you're not enrolled in the service.”

 

Why am I unable to print with HP Instant Ink cartridges?

 

Recycle HP Instant Ink Cartridges / Subscription Cartridges

 HP Instant Ink - Recycle HP Instant Ink Cartridges

 

================================================

OR

If you are not subscribed to Instant Ink,

If the cartridges you have installed in the printer are not Subscription cartridges,

If the printer accepts the cartridges you have (HP or HP-chipped),

You can use the cartridges you have.
