I’m trying to reset my HP OfficeJet 4650 and start a new HP instant ink subscription or setup the current ink cartridge I have that I can no longer use because it’s not enrolled

Hi @Hunter_Britt ,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Performing a hard reset on your HP OfficeJet 4650 can help in various situations, including setting up a new HP Instant Ink subscription or resolving cartridge issues. Here's how you can do a hard reset:

Turn on the Printer:

• Ensure that your HP OfficeJet 4650 is turned on.

Disconnect Power:

• Disconnect the power cord from the back of the printer.

Unplug from the Wall Outlet:

• Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Wait for a While:

• Leave the printer unplugged for at least 60 seconds. This will allow any residual power to drain from the printer.

Reconnect the Power Cord:

• Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.

Reconnect to the Printer:

• Reconnect the power cord to the back of the printer.

Turn on the Printer:

• Turn on the printer by pressing the power button.

Wait for Initialization:

• Allow the printer to go through its startup process and initialize.

After performing these steps, your HP OfficeJet 4650 should be reset. Now you can set up a new HP Instant Ink subscription or configure the current ink cartridge.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.-
