The document here has information on contacting HP to get replacement Instant Ink cartridges.  Go to the HP Instant Ink site, the phone number (or chat option for some countries) will be listed in the lower center of the opening screen. 

 

Alternately, you can click on the Virtual Assistant.  When the assistant opens type "Where is my ink?" (w/o the quotes).  The system will ask a few questions and then schedule your shipment.

Hi @uk123451,

 

Thanks for confirming the details. I have shipped both color and black ink cartridges and it should reach you in 4-6 business days. 

I hope this helps!

 

Meanwhile, I want you to go through the steps below and see how it goes. 

Clean the ink cartridge and carriage electrical contacts

Remove any debris or buildup from the contacts on the cartridges and in the carriage.

 

Open the door or lid to the cartridge access area. Wait until the carriage stops moving before continuing.

 

Remove the cartridge indicated in the error message from the carriage.

 

Carriages with cartridge latches: Open the latch, and then pull the cartridge up and out of the slot.

 

Carriages without cartridge latches: Gently press down on the cartridge to release it, and then pull it out of the slot.

 

Holding the cartridge by the sides, remove any protective tape that still might be on the contacts.

CAUTION: 

Do not touch the ink nozzles or the copper-colored electrical strip. Touching or trying to remove these parts can result in clogs, ink failure, and bad electrical connections.

Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth with distilled water, and then wipe the copper-colored contacts on the cartridge.

 

Lightly dampen a lint-free cloth or swab with distilled water, and then clean the electrical contacts in the carriage.

 

Wait 10 minutes for the contacts to dry, and then reinsert the cartridge into its color-coded slot.

 

Repeat these steps for the other cartridge if it was indicated in the error message.

 

Close the door or lid to the cartridge access area.

 

If the error persists, clean the cartridge and carriage contacts a second time.

If the information I've provided was helpful, give us some reinforcement by clicking the Accepted Solution button, that'll help us and others see that we've got the answers!
