@Aneya,

Thanks for stopping by the HP Support Community!

Are you able to print using regular ink cartridges on the printer?

Are you able to make a copy from the printer?

Have you cancelled the instant ink contract?

This message would normally appear if there is a billing issue with the Instant Ink service. (sometimes it represents a connection issue) If you have enrolled in the Instant Ink program and failed to cancel the service properly.  

If you look at the printers Ink cartridges do they say Instant Ink on them? If they do, you can swap them out for regular store bought cartridges. The printer should then work. 

If you have issues registering in instant ink. Please share instant ink details in a private message, so I can check the records and help you with the issue.
