I bought cartridges from a friend. They worked for about 2 days but now the printer says I need to sign up for instant ink before I can use them. How can I use the cartridges I bought without subscribing to a subscription I don’t want and don’t need?

@Rem-nl, Welcome to the HP Support Community!
Check if the ink cartridges you are using are Instant Ink cartridges. It will be mentioned on the ink cartridges. If yes, it will work only if the printer is enrolled in Instant Ink.
If the printer is not enrolled in Instant Ink anymore or if the enrollment was cancelled, you will have to use regular HP ink cartridges.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
