Hi I've been enrolled in instant ink for over a year.  My printer recently seemed to reset itself and I had to reset the country etc.  Since then when I turn it on the screen reads 'Cartridges cannot be used until enrolled in HP instant ink'.  The blue light is flashing when I assume means it's not connected to the wifi which is causing the problem.  However, I cannot escape this screen to get into the other menus to reset the wifi.  Pressing the X doesn't work, restarting doesn't work.  I don't have a cable to connect directly to the computer, so am at a loss about what to do.  Of course the printer has just gone out of warranty.  Very grateful for any suggestions.

Hi.

 

maybe what you can do is first. try to remove the cartridges and close the lid.

 

check if you can minimize the message then do the wireless setup 

 

following this document, just the step 2

then enable the web services on the printer, bottom left icon (first icon)

 

once it's enabled then re install the cartridge then visit your instant ink website to see if you are connected.

 

or if you want you can call the instant ink support for assistance since if you are subscribed then i think they can help you.

thanks for taking the time to respond.  Unfortunately I have removed the cartridges and reinserted a few times, but I still can't escape the screen that says the printer needs to be enrolled.  I have not been able to find an easy way to contact instant ink, there is no help option that I could see in my account with them.  I'm probably missing something - do you know how I can contact them directly?
