Instant ink plan

[mikel8085]

Cancelled my Instant-ink plan to go to an all-in plan with a new printer.

I gave my old printer away.

Received message from HP that I can't print with their ink cartridges anymore.

I don't have the printer.

What can I do?

Used, or unused HP Instant Ink cartridges cannot be used in a new or replacement printer.[ref_1, ref_2]

• Digital Locking: Instant Ink cartridges are embedded with microchips that digitally lock to the specific printer and account they were originally assigned to.[ref_1, ref_2]

• Subscription Ownership: Under the HP Instant Ink Terms of Service, HP retains ownership of the subscription cartridges, and they will only function with the designated printer in your service account.

• Error Messages: Inserting an Instant Ink cartridge into a different or replacement printer will trigger an "Incompatible Cartridge" or ink system error, even if the cartridges are unopened.[ref_1, ref_2]

at one time HP used to provide envelopes to allow cartridges to be returned or recycled.  You might check and see if you have any but possibly that program was canceled.

I took some empty HP toners to an office depot and they had to check with management to see what to do. Seems no one is bothering to recycle anymore.

Sorry!
