Hi @McCauley2,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.  I'd like to help!

I understand you have issues printing and you are getting an error cannot print visit the instant ink page on the printer.

Don't worry I'll try to help you out.

Did you make any changes to your printer?

Have you enrolled for an instant ink subscription?

Have you canceled the instant ink contract?

Excellent description and a great diagnosis. It is greatly appreciated.

Please brief the issue in detail to assist you better.

This message would normally appear if there is a billing issue with the Instant Ink service. (sometimes it represents a connection issue, but I'm pretty confident that it is not.) I'm pretty sure that the original owner was enrolled in the Instant Ink program and failed to cancel the service properly.  

If you look at the printer's Ink cartridges do they say Instant Ink on them? If they do, you can swap them out for regular store-bought cartridges. The printer should then work.
