Did you buy an original HP cartridge in its original packaging or is it a third party reman/refill cartridge?  If an HP cartridge please post a photo of the cartridge label.

 

Instant Ink cartridges only work in a printer with an active Instant Ink subscription.  I have seen cases where third party suppliers were selling HP Instant Ink cartridges.  These WILL NOT WORK.  If this was your case I would suggest you contact your supplier for a replacement or a refund.
