Hi @Traveler81,

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

1. You may ignore the alert asking you to connect the printer to the internet, as it is a general notification if the printer is not connected to the internet.

Your subscription will not be affected in that case.

2. Pause your subscription:

Depending on your printer model and plan, you might be able to pause your Instant Ink printer subscription for up to 6 months.

During a subscription pause, your normal plan and monthly fees are suspended. You can continue to use any pages in your rollover balance.

Months paused during a trial period are lost and the trial period is not extended.

If you have a paper add-on service, it is also paused.

A subscription pause takes effect in the next billing cycle. You are charged your normal plan fee for the current billing cycle.

At the end of a pause, normal monthly billing starts again. You can pause again after two billing cycles are completed.

To pause your subscription:

Sign into your account:

Home / Home Office: Sign into your Instant Ink account

Verify the serial number by selecting Overview, and then Printer Details in the Status area.

Click HP Instant Ink, then Update Plan in the left menu.

Scroll to Plan Details.

Click Cancel my HP Instant Ink Subscription.

Select I’m cancelling temporarily.

If options for pause length appear, your plan is eligible for a pause.

If no options appear, your plan is not eligible for a pause.

Select a length of time and click Next.

Select the exact number of months to pause your subscription and click Pause My Plan.

Click Finish & Close. Instant Ink sends an email notification to confirm the subscription pause. Another email reminder is sent when the pause period ends.
