True -- HP+ and Instant Ink are two different contracts / services.

Not everyone realizes that point.

HP+ and Instant Ink are separate -- and both are optional.

You can avoid either one or both by not accepting the offer(s) when you install your printer.

For example,

The marketing for Instant Ink might be a bit intense -- just say "No" or Skip as often as it takes for the offers to cease and desist.

and / or

The offer to add HP+ is not so pushy -- Decline (say No to) the offer to add HP+ during printer setup.

HP Smart Advance enhances the HP App experience by including additional features and tools, such as Advanced Scan, Advanced Shortcuts, and Print Anywhere. HP App settings and features vary by device, printer model, and country/region.

Note:

To access the HP Smart Advance features, your HP+ or eligible non-HP+ printer must be set up in the HP Smart app with an HP account. For more information, go to HP printer setup (HP app).

======================================

One more time...

When you enable the HP+ service on an eligible printer, HP+ permanently changes the way you manage and use your printer.

Requirements for HP+ printers

This topic describes the requirements for HP+ printers.

Keep the printer connected to the Internet

HP+ printers are cloud-connected devices that must remain connected to the Internet in order to function. The
Internet connection enables the printer to deliver HP+ specific app features and firmware updates.

During setup, you must connect the printer to the Internet using a supported network connection. After setup,
you can print using a USB cable connection, if desired, but the printer must still be connected to the Internet.

Use Original HP cartridges

Original HP cartridges are cartridges manufactured and sold by HP in official HP packaging. If non-Original HP
supplies or refilled cartridges are installed, HP+ printers will not operate as expected.

Have an HP account

Create or sign into an HP account to manage your printer.
