Hello,
I began using Instant Ink in May 2021, and since then have never received new ink maybe because I rarely print anything. In the meantime I am charged £2 per month. In November problems began such as pages printing with streaks, or too faint to see etc. No new ink was sent, but I keep paying. Until December: my credit card changed and I did not informa HP of my new card because I get no service - print nothing and have received no new ink since May 2021. I have tried calling customer support multiple times but never get through. Now I have begun the process to cancel my subscription but it requires returning the current ink cartridges in the original package which I do not have. I cannot return them.
The service is very disappointing and I cannot get help directly from HP. Does anyone here know what I can do, please?
Thank you.

Clean the ink cartridges and print a test page to check the result.
