Deskjet 3630

Hi, my deskjet 3630 already run out of ink and I was thinking to register for instant ink. However when I try to connect, it needs the printer to print a 'key' code to continue the registration but my printer is not printing now. Although I still has full colour ink (mostly empty black ink as it was flashing). 

 

Can I still able to register for instant ink while not able to print out the key? 

 

please help. Thanks!

I believe you do need enough ink in the printer to print out the necessary code.

 

Once registered, it typically takes ten days to receive your Welcome kit that includes your Instant Ink cartridges.

 

I believe your best option is to purchase the ink you need now and go from there.

 

If you would like to do so, contact Instant Ink in your region and ask for options. 

 

Be Aware: Contacting Instant Ink Support may have to wait until Monday as most support regions keep regular business hours.
