Must buy HP Ink cartridge plan to get my printer to work??? How do I get around this???

[N_fox_L]

I need to have my printer print, but it says I MUST enroll in HP's instant ink plan to be able to do this! 

Is there a way to get around this???? I was never told this when I bought the printer and was told I could cancel my enrollment in it only after I purchased the printer cartridge. The replacement cartridge I have WAS sent to me shortly after I got the printer, so it does fall under HP's requirements.

I am 70 years old...older than computers have been around , and this should be illegal!!!  HELP PLEASE!!!

Hi @N_fox_L,

I'd like to help!

I understand the printer is requesting you to enroll in instant ink to enable printing.

Could you share an image of the cartridges you are using?
