"Printer Cannot Print
A problem has occurred and you will be unable to print until the issue is resolved. If there were cartridges labeled SETUP that came with your printer, use them.
If you are using the cartridges that came with the printer then there is a different issue. To get help setting up your HP+ printer, go to www.hp.com/support."
I want to know BEFORE(!!!!!!!!) I start a subscription (free trial OR NOT) whether or not the service will WORK AS INTENDED. PLEASE answer the questions BELOW.
1. Does the SUBSCRIPTION bypass the "setup" ink cartridge necessity?
2. Can I purchase "setup" ink cartridge STANDALONE NO SUBSCRIPTION?
3. Does purchasing newer standalone STANDARD (NON-setup ink cartridges) bypass the "setup" ink cartridge necessity?
4. Is there any marking or indication about what kind of cartridges are currently in my printer? (Ie. SETUP, or STANDALONE, or SUBSCRIPTION-LOCKED cartridges)
