hp instant ink

[Laurynwatts]

My printer says it is connected to the wireless wifi, but when I try to connect it to instant ink it says "it is not connected to the server". How do I fix this?

It sounds like Web Services is not running.

Places to check / try / start-stop Web Services...

Open your favorite browser > type / enter Printer IP address into URL / Address bar

Tab Web Services > Web Services Settings > Summary

Website Support Troubleshooting, How-to, Video Tutorials

• HP Smart - HP Connected
•  HP Instant Ink

Open website:  HP Smart / HP Connected 

>>>> Open category How to > Turning On Web Services  (Includes “Turn off Web Services” help)

Pretty much the same thing...

Examples

Troubleshooting > Cannot Connect to Web Services

What Else?

Web Services might be down in your region.  It does this sometimes.  The only solution:  Wait it out

OR

Contact the Instant Ink Support staff in your region (see the Instant Ink Web Site for help)

OR

Wait for one of our Instant Ink agents to respond here and try to help.
