Hi @Johnno121,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

 

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding your printer!

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.

 

Try these steps:

Steps to Cancel the Existing Account:

Determine Current Subscription:

  • Contact HP Support and provide them with the printer's serial number. Explain the situation and request to determine the current subscription status. Unfortunately, without account details, direct cancelation isn't possible, but HP Support can guide you through the necessary steps.

Prepare Printer for New Registration:

  • Perform a factory reset on the printer to clear previous settings:
    • Turn on the printer.
    • Navigate to the printer's Setup or Settings menu.
    • Select Restore Defaults or a similar option to reset the printer to its factory settings.
    • Confirm the reset process if prompted.

Steps to Register the Printer to Your HP Instant Ink Account:

Create HP Account (if necessary):

Enroll in HP Instant Ink:

  • Once logged into your HP account, go to the HP Instant Ink section.
  • Follow the prompts to sign up for a new subscription plan suitable for your needs. Plans range based on the number of pages you expect to print each month.

Register the Printer:

  • During the Instant Ink setup process, you'll be prompted to enter the printer's details.
  • Ensure the printer is connected to your network either via Wi-Fi or a wired connection.

Install New Ink Cartridges:

  • HP Instant Ink enrollment includes shipping new ink cartridges to you. Upon receiving them, install these HP Instant Ink cartridges in your printer.

Complete Setup:

  • Follow any additional on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

I hope this helps.
