Hi @Mrjones16 , Welcome to HP Support Community!
I understand you're trying to pause your Instant Ink subscription.
Depending on your printer model and plan, you might be able to pause your Instant Ink printer subscription for up to 6 months.
-
Some printers and plans are not eligible.
-
LaserJet printers and printers enrolled in Instant Ink for Business are not eligible.
-
During a subscription pause, your normal plan and monthly fees are suspended. You can continue to use any pages in your rollover balance.
-
Months paused during a trial period are lost and the trial period is not extended.
-
If you have a paper add-on service, it is also paused.
-
A subscription pause takes effect in the next billing cycle. You are charged your normal plan fee for the current billing cycle.
-
At the end of a pause, normal monthly billing starts again. You can pause again after two billing cycles are completed.
To pause your subscription:
-
Sign into your account:
-
Home / Home Office: Sign into your Instant Ink account
-
Business: Sign into your Instant Ink for Business account
-
-
Verify the serial number by selecting Overview, and then Printer Details in the Status area.
-
Click HP Instant Ink, then Update Plan in the left menu.
-
Scroll to Plan Details.
-
Click Cancel my HP Instant Ink Subscription.
-
Select I’m cancelling temporarily.
-
If options for pause length appear, your plan is eligible for a pause.
-
If no options appear, your plan is not eligible for a pause.
-
-
Select a length of time and click Next.
-
Select the exact number of months to pause your subscription and click Pause My Plan.
-
Click Finish & Close. Instant Ink sends an email notification to confirm the subscription pause. Another email reminder is sent when the pause period ends.
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
