Hello, I keep getting Error Code: UA_400_EB000U0410. Cannot register the printer to my account. The previous owner already deleted the printer off their account, I have updated Windows, the HP Smart app, and the printer itself. Factory reset the printer already and keep getting the same error code. Please help

Hi @shelbster 

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community! We're here to help you get back up and running.

 

Thank you for explaining the situation so clearly. I understand how frustrating it must feel to have everything set up and working, only to be blocked from using Instant Ink and cloud features due to a lingering account association. 

 

You’ve already done a great job getting the printer up and running—let’s now focus on clearing that error and restoring full access.

 

Here are the steps to remove the previous account association and register the printer to your own HP account:

 

Factory reset the printer again

  • On the printer’s control panel, go to Setup > Printer Maintenance > Restore > Restore Factory Defaults.
  • If the menu is locked or inaccessible, power off the printer, wait 30 seconds, then power it back on and try again.
  • This clears stored credentials and resets the printer’s cloud registration.

 

Remove the printer from the previous HP account

  • Ask your friend to log in to their HP account at HP App Web Portal
  • Once signed in, go to “My Printers” and remove the printer from their account.
  • This step is essential to release the printer from its previous cloud registration.

 

Re-add the printer to your HP account

  • Open the HP App on your computer or mobile device.
  • Sign in with your own HP account.
  • Add the printer by selecting “Set up a new printer” and follow the on-screen instructions.
  • Once added, go to Instant Ink and try subscribing again.

 

Check for firmware updates

  • In the HP App, select your printer and go to Settings > Advanced Settings > Firmware Update.
  • Install any available updates to ensure the printer is ready for cloud features.

 

Reconnect to Wi-Fi and enable Web Services

  • On the printer control panel, go to Setup > Network Setup > Wireless Settings and confirm connection to your local Wi-Fi.
  • Then go to Setup > Web Services Setup > Enable Web Services.
  • This activates cloud features like Print Anywhere and Instant Ink eligibility.

 

For reference, here’s the official support page that explains this error and how to resolve it:
HP Printer Setup – 'We're sorry, something went wrong' error

 

Once the printer is removed from the previous account and reset, you should be able to register it under your own account and enjoy full access to Instant Ink and cloud features.
