New PC Windows 11 cant use instant ink

[ajax586]

Bought a new HP PC loaded with windows 11 now I can't print through my instant ink account although I can still print directly through my printer but there is no HP Smart icon listed under my printer, it has disappeared,   Funny that this is happening but I'm still being charged the monthly fee for instant ink.

I tried what the email said but without any luck, when I clicked on add printer I got a pop up box saying   HP Smart currently supports printing of PDF documents. Print other file types directly from their associated application (e. g. Word, Outlook).

Should I uninstall my printer and reinstall it.  Does the fact that I am on Ethernet and not WiFi?
