I  have a HPENVY 4500 printer that stopped working after the last windows 10 update. I have instantink and spent 3 hours with David from instantink  trying to resolve the issue with no luck .  My connection has always ben a usb connection.

The Instant Ink service requires a network connection for the printer.  You will need to connect the printer to a network, a USB connection will not support Instant Ink.

 

What do I need to sign up?
 
To sign up to the HP Instant Ink service you need:
  • An HP printer that is compatible with this service.
  • An Internet connection for your printer.
  • A valid email address.
  • A valid payment method (for billing purposes): Credit card, direct debit, PayPal or HP Instant Ink Prepaid card*.
