   Pause your 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, and you can only pause your subscription twice in every 12-month period.

   • LaserJets and printers enrolled in Instant Ink for Business are not eligible.

   • During a subscription pause, your normal plan and monthly fees are suspended. You cannot use any pages in your rollover balance.

   • Months paused during a free trial period are lost and the free 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 and rollover pages are restored.

   To pause your subscription:

   1. Sign into your account:

      • Home / Home Office: Sign into your Instant Ink account

      • Business: Sign into your Instant Ink for Business account

   2. Verify the serial number by selecting Overview, and then Printer Details in the Status area.

   4. Scroll to Plan Details.

   5. Click Cancel my HP Instant Ink Subscription.

   6. 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.

   7. Select a length of time and click Next.

   8. Select the exact number of months to pause your subscription and click Pause My Plan.

   9. Click Finish & Close. Instant Ink sends an email notification to confirm the subscription pause. Another email reminder is sent when the pause period ends.

   Cancelling an HP Platinum printer subscription

   If you decide to cancel your Platinum printer subscription, you can choose whether to keep or return your printer to HP.

   A cancellation fee may apply, depending on how long the printer has been enrolled:

   • Within 30 days of enrolling the printer, there is no cancellation fee if you return the printer to HP within 10 days of cancelling.

   • Within one year, the early cancellation fee is the list price of the printer.

   • Between one and two years, the cancellation fee is half the list price of the printer.

   • After two years, there is no cancellation fee.
