I am on the Instant Ink plan with HP. This has worked well since I got it some time ago.
However the latest tri-colour cartridge won't work. I get an error message telling me to remove and re-install the cartridge.
I have tried all the help videos, the suggested fixes and nothing works.
The virtual chat is useless, the phone line just leaves you waiting for ages and there is NO EMAIL contact.
I am therefore paying a monthly plan amount and I am unable to print colour pages!!
Can someone please help...

I received the private message and the printer seems to be offline.We need to correct that situation first.
To bring it back online and connect the printer to the network, please try these steps:
If the OS is Mac perform all the prescribed steps from this link:http://hp.care/2sIQdpF (HP Printers - Printer is Offline (Mac)
If the OS is Windows then follow all the relevant steps from this link: http://hp.care/2f1eLny (HP Printers - Printer is Offline (Windows)
Once it is back online we could check the status and ship you the ink cartridges.
Please perform all these steps patiently as it is critical to resolving the issue. The trick is to remain patient.
