HP Envy 5544 will not print

[JoshR2020]

I have recently been unable to print on my HP Envy 5544, I have ensured all updates are the recent and is all settings are correct, however; every time I go to print it states;

"Cannot Print.  Connect printer to update HP Instant Ink Status"

I do not currently have an instant ink account and do not use the printer enough to validate subscribing to it.

I have reset the printer also to see if this would correct the issue, but it does not.

@JoshR2020, Welcome to HP Support Community!

Let us try to isolate and resolve the issue-

Remove the ink cartridges and reset the printer-

1. Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
2. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
3. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
4. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
5. Wait at least 60 seconds.
6. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
7. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
8. Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
9. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Update the printer firmware

Download available firmware updates from the HP website

With the printer on and connected to the computer, go to HP Customer Support - Software and Driver Downloads, and then identify your printer. Look for and install any available firmware updates. Refer to the document HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware

If the issue persists, the only option left is to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer. 

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device. 

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
