Printer stopped connecting to my laptop. Powered printer down and unplugged to reset but all it does now is tell me that it is not registered to HP Instant Ink.  Can’t get past this page on the printer display.  And yes, it is registered to HP ink and I am using the cartridges they gave me and worked fine last week.

Hi @FreddieA3 

 

Welcome to the HP support community.
 

I understand you're experiencing an issue with your HP device, and I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I'm here to help you today.
 

Restore printer factory defaults

Restore your printer to the default factory settings using the HP Smart app or internet browser to open the printer Embedded Web Server (EWS). Restoring factory defaults can help resolve printer setup issues, connectivity problems, and error messages.

Choose one of the following methods to open the advanced settings for your printer.

HP Smart app: Click the image of your printer to open the settings and management tools, and then click Advanced Settings under Settings.

Printer EWS: Open the HP printer Embedded Web Server (EWS) using the printer IP address.

From the EWS home page, click the Settings or System tab.

If you are prompted to log in or enter the printer PIN, enter admin for the username (HP LaserJets only), enter the PIN from the printer label, and then click Submit or OK. This label is typically located inside the cartridge access area or printer door.

Location of the PIN on the printer label

Restore your printer to factory defaults.

For most HP printers, click Restore Factory Defaults or Factory under Restore Defaults. Click Restore Factory Defaults > Yes.
