I have an OfficeJet Pro 8025. The Instant Ink was working just fine until November, 2022 when it suddenly stopped connecting. HP Smart, the printer display, everything says "Server Problem. Printer could not run the web access test" or it flat out says it's not connected when I'm looking at the SOLID BLUE wireless signal meaning it's connected. I've done EVERY troubleshooting to reconnect (checked drivers/software, uninstall/reinstall, manual IP address...EVERYTHING, but even after all that & the printer is connected...Instant Ink will not connect!!! I also synced the date & time like others have suggested, but that won't work either!!! HELP!!! I'm at my wit's end!!!

Hi @CaitH1,
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I see that you are facing connectivity issues with your HP OfficeJet Pro 8025 printer using instant ink cartridges.
Please follow the steps listed below to remove and set up web services:
1. Open the embedded web server (EWS):
a. Find out the IP address or hostname of the printer by pressing the Information button (i) to print an Information page.
NOTE: The printer must be on a network and must have an IP address.
b. In a supported web browser on your computer, type the IP address or hostname assigned to the printer. For example, if the IP address is 123.123.123.123, type the following address into the web browser: http://123.123.123.123.
2. Click the Web Services tab, and then click Remove Web Services in the Web Services Settings section.
3. Click Remove Web Services.
4. Click Yes to remove Web Services from your printer.

5. Click the Web Services tab again.
6. In the Web Services Settings section, click Setup, click Continue and follow the onscreen instructions to accept the terms of use.
7. If prompted, choose to allow the printer to check for and install printer updates.
8. When the printer is connected to the server, the printer prints an information page. Follow the instructions on the information page to finish the setup.
