Will the Instant Ink Program Still Work With Just Windows Drivers Installed?

[Josov]

So I had to manually install the window drivers on the printer.  Will the auto ink program still work?   Do I need additional software installed? 

Thanks!

Hey there! @Josov,

Instant ink has nothing to do with the full feature printer software or the drivers.

The drivers are used to make the printer function. Eg- Print, copy and Scan.

However, Please find the instant ink requirements below.

A printer with an active Internet connection: The printer must be set up on a wired or wireless network and Web Services must be turned on. This connection is required so that HP Instant Ink can securely monitor your printer’s ink status. A daily connection between your printer and the Internet is not required, but HP recommends that you allow your printer to remain connected as often as possible. After your printer has been disconnected for a few days, you receive reminders to connect. If you fail to connect, eventually your HP Instant Ink cartridges stop printing.

NOTE:

A USB cable connection does not provide the required Internet access for HP Instant Ink.

• An email address: A valid email address (Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo, etc.) is required to sign up for the HP Instant Ink service.

• A valid credit or debit card: A list of accepted credit and debit cards displays when you sign up for the HP Instant Ink service.
