Welcome to the HP Community --

 

Did you activate HP+ ?

That is key.

Regardless - HP+ and Instant Ink are related in this instance for receiving the extended trial period but are actually two separate animals.

 

READ everything, then decide whether HP+ is something you want.

Next, READ about how Instant Ink subscription actually works -- Decide whether the service is useful long term.

Links and information are provided later in this message.

 

Finally,

If you accept AND enable HP+ service

And

If you still want to subscribe to Instant Ink

Then

Contact HP+ Support or HP Instant Ink Support and ask for help

 

Reminder

Regardless of what it sounds or looks like,

Instant Ink is an Optional service.

You can use the printer - and even sign up for HP+  -- without an Instant Ink service contract.
