why haven't i got a new cartridge?
I can direct you to a document that explains how it is supposed to work.
For example, you should receive a shipment after the printer notifies the service that ink supplies are depleted and it's time for a shipment. Your printer must be switched on and connected to the Internet (via Web Services) for the notification process to succeed.
No Joy?
It might be faster for you to contact Instant Ink Support directly when the office is open in your neighborhood.
