Use computer without instant ink account

How do I use my computer without an instant inc account 

[VikramTheGreat]

Hi @Greg920,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.

You can use your HP computer without an HP Instant Ink account—Instant Ink is only related to HP printers, not your computer itself.

If you're being prompted to sign in to HP Instant Ink, it's likely because:

• You installed the HP Smart app, which manages printer settings and ink subscriptions.
• Your printer is enrolled in Instant Ink, but you don’t want to use it.

 1. Uninstall or Ignore HP Smart

• You can uninstall the HP Smart app if you don’t need it.
• Or just ignore the Instant Ink prompts—it won’t affect your computer’s functionality.

2. Use Your Printer Without Instant Ink

If your printer is enrolled in Instant Ink and you want to stop:

• Go to https://instantink.hpconnected.com
• Sign in and cancel your subscription
• Replace the Instant Ink cartridges with regular HP cartridges (Instant Ink cartridges stop working after cancellation)

3. Use Built-in Printing Tools

You can print using:

• macOS or Windows built-in print dialog
• Third-party apps like Adobe Reader, Word, etc.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
