Hi @ashleeair,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I understand that your printer is displaying an account-related error, although you do not see any issues when you check your HP account.
To help us check this further, could you please provide the following information:
- What is the exact model of your HP printer?
- What is the exact error code or message displayed on the printer?
- Is your printer currently enrolled in HP Instant Ink?
- Are you currently using Instant Ink cartridges or regular Original HP cartridges?
- Is the printer connected to the Internet and showing as connected in your account?
- Are you still able to print, or does the account error prevent printing?
If possible, please also share a picture of the error displayed on the printer. Please make sure that no personal, account, serial number, or payment information is visible in the picture.
If this is related to Instant Ink, the printer's connection to the service can also be checked from the Instant Ink account. HP Instant Ink - Connect your printer specifically advises checking the account to confirm that the printer is connected to the service.
Please share the printer model and exact error message/code, and we'll be able to guide you with the appropriate next steps.
Take care and have a good day.
I'm an HP Employee.
