Hi @Mooncookie78,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

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

I see that you are looking for help with using regular trade ink cartridges as your instant ink cartridges are depleted.

Perform a power drain on the printer.

1) Take out the cartridges.

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

In order to continue printing, you will have to remove all the instant ink cartridges and use regular ink cartridges for the printer to work.
