Help! i am no longer involved in the HP instant print program. I have recently replaced the black and magenta with store bought cartridges. The previous Instant Print for blue and yellow are still in place but low. I just tried to print and received an error message stating "cartridge cannot be used until enrolled in HP instant ink". My options? I do not want to enroll in instant ink. TY

Welcome to the HP Community Forum.
You must remove all the Instant Ink cartridges after the subscription is cancelled / terminated.
Reference: HP Instant Ink - Cancel Your HP Instant Ink Service
No worries - you never owned the Instant Ink cartridges.
All Instant Ink cartridges remain the property of HP.
Return the cartridges in the same Return envelope you use for depleted cartridges.
HP will take care of proper recycling and handling of the unused product.
If you don't have an envelope to return left over cartridges, another can be requested.
