I have purchased HP ink cartridges at Costco.  Why can't I use them without joining HP instant ink?  I seldom print.

Hi @LaRue5 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! 

  

Thanks for posting your query! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

To help us get started on resolving your issue, could you please share your printer's product number with us.

 

Are the cartridges labeled instant ink on them? Because cartridges labeled as instant ink will work only with instant ink subscription.

 

Could you please elaborate on what's happening with your device? The more details you provide, the better we'll understand the problem and the faster we can resolve it! 

 

We're looking forward to helping you get back up and running! 

 

Regards, 

Hawks_Eye
