I bought an ink cartridge from Walmart and it won't let me print without enrolling in instant ink. I have bought others and didn't have this problem.

If you purchased an ink cartridge from Walmart and it is not allowing you to use it without enrolling in Instant Ink, it's possible that you purchased an Instant Ink-ready cartridge. Instant Ink is a subscription-based service provided by HP that automatically sends ink cartridges to your doorstep when your printer is running low on ink. Instant Ink-ready cartridges are specifically designed for this service.

Here are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:

Check the Cartridge Packaging: Review the packaging of the ink cartridge you purchased from Walmart. Look for any indications or labeling that mention Instant Ink or compatibility with the service. If it is an Instant Ink-ready cartridge, it may require enrollment in the service to function properly.

Verify Cartridge Compatibility: Ensure that the ink cartridge you purchased is compatible with your specific printer model. Ink cartridges are often designed to work with specific printer models, and using an incompatible cartridge may result in errors or limited functionality.

I thought that might be it but the cartridges are the right ones .  It doesn't say anything on the box about instant ink. I just bought another one and it says the same thing. It was working fine so I don't know what is going on. I guess I will have to buy a new printer if I am going to get my printing done. I have always had HP printers but I think I will try another brand.
