Hi @HD6867,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you are trying to merge 2 HP Smart Accounts

Unfortunately, HP does not currently offer a direct way to merge two HP Smart accounts. However, you can manage this situation by following these steps:

1. Choose a Primary Account

  • Decide which of the two accounts you want to keep as your primary account.
  • Log in to that account and ensure all the printers and subscriptions (like Instant Ink) you want are connected to it.

2. Transfer Printer(s) and Subscriptions

For Printers:

  • Remove the printer from the secondary account.
  • Add the printer to the primary account using the HP Smart app or the HP Smart website.
  • To remove the printer from the secondary account:
    1. Log in to the secondary account on the HP Smart website.
    2. Select the printer and choose the option to "Remove Printer."
    3. Log in to the primary account and add the printer there.

For Instant Ink Subscriptions:

  • If you have Instant Ink tied to the secondary account, contact HP Support to transfer the subscription to the primary account.
  • You may need the printer's serial number and other account details.

3. Consolidate User Data

  • Download or save any important information (e.g., print history or saved preferences) from the secondary account before you remove it.

4. Deactivate or Delete the Secondary Account

  • Once everything is successfully transferred, you can deactivate or delete the secondary account if you no longer need it. To do this:
    • Visit the HP account management page for the secondary account.
    • Look for the option to delete or deactivate the account. If you don’t find it, contact HP Customer Support for assistance.

If you need help during the process or run into any issues, HP Support can guide you step-by-step to ensure a smooth transition. 
 

I hope this helps. 

 

Take care and have a good day.
