instant ink cartridges error

[bob6364]

Hi due to the current situation I have recently been forced to cancel my instant ink account, I saw some HP ink cartridges for sale on ebay unfortunately I was unaware of the problem I would have eg error message will only print on the allocated printer. once you have finished laughing any one know how I can over ride this problem to get them used up and not have to buy more straight away, I have tried: factory reset, turned off web services, unplugged and waited 60 sec,  put ip address in to google to disable cartridge protection and so on to no avail. please help if you can thanks bob.

Hi @bob6364

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you.

Once you cancel the Instant Ink subscription, you may use the Instant Ink cartridges for that billing cycle after which you will have to use regular HP ink cartridges.

• What is the exact error message on the printer?
• What model printer are you using?

Keep me posted.

@bob6364

• Are you using Instant Ink cartridges in the printer?
• Have you tried using regular HP ink cartridges?
• Turn off web services as the printer is not enrolled in Instant Ink anymore.
• Refer to this document to know how.
• Try printing.

Keep me posted.
