I canceled my subscription some time ago, months to be exact and this message remains on my printer stating that I cannot use the cartridge until I enroll my printer in HP Instant Ink.  I am confused…please release my printer so I can go on with my printing life.

The error message indicates that the black cartridge in your printer is an Instant Ink cartridge and you do not currently have an active account.  You will need to replace the black cartridge with a retail cartridge.

 

When you sign up for the Instant Ink program you are NOT purchasing NK, you are purchasing a subscription to a set number of pages per month.  The ink is supplied, but remains the property of HP and must be returned if you cancel the program in accordance with the terms of service.  See sections 5.d and 9.c of the terms of service here.
