I paid for my instant ink subscription last night and have been trying to print a label for an order and it is still showing not paid in HP Smart. How do I get it to work?

Hi @DSexton3,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I understand you are facing an Instant Ink issue with your HP Printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.

Let's perform a power drain: 

• With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove USB cable, if present.
• Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
• Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle

Update the printer firmware 

• Click here to download and install the latest printer firmware from your product
• Click here to know different methods of updating printer firmware.

Let's disable webservices and re-enable it

• Touch on the wifi icon ((i)) on the printer, and take down the IP address
• Open a web browser (ex Chrome or Mozilla) and type in the printer's IP
• click on webservices and remove webservices and re-enable it

If the issue persists, we would need some information related to your Instant Ink Subscription. This information cannot be shared on a public post.
