Does anyone know how to remove an old printer from an HP Smart account? I got rid of my old printer, sent it off to recycle heaven and got a new HP printer. I disconnected the old one from the Internet, and my account shows that, but it's still showing as being an owned printer, and even eligible for Instant Ink subscription. I don't own it anymore and want to delete it from my account. I did a search online and it said to pull up the printers in my HP Smart account and just press the delete button to remove the one I don't want. But there is no delete button anywhere. Help?
