I would guess the problem is that Web Services is not switched on - or that Web Services is switched on but the service is not responding.

 

There is a fix to the first (Web Services is not switched on)

 

Website Support Troubleshooting, How-to, Video Tutorials

and

Open website:  HP Smart / HP Connected 

Open category How to > Turning On Web Services  (Includes “Turn off Web Services” help)

 

 

The main Instant Ink Web site does provide a contact number -

Look to the top right side of the web page, next to Sign-in box.
