Hi @ToniM55,

Welcome to HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

Yes, the HP Envy Inspire 7900e series can be used without HP's Instant Ink program. HP Instant Ink is a subscription service that provides ink cartridges automatically when you're running low, but it's not mandatory for the printer to function. Here’s what you need to know about using your Envy Inspire 7900e without Instant Ink:

1. Using Standard Ink Cartridges

• You can purchase and use standard HP ink cartridges for your printer. Just ensure that you use the cartridges compatible with the Envy Inspire 7900e series. These cartridges can be bought from various retailers or directly from HP’s website.

2. Printer Functionality

• The printer will function normally without the Instant Ink service. You can print, scan, and copy as you would with any other printer. The Instant Ink service is simply a convenience that helps you manage ink levels and delivery.

3. Managing Ink Levels

• Without Instant Ink, you’ll need to manually monitor your ink levels and replace cartridges when they’re low. Most printers have a feature that lets you check ink levels through the printer's control panel or via the HP Smart app.

4. HP Smart App

• You can still use the HP Smart app to manage your printer settings, perform maintenance tasks, and order new ink cartridges if needed. The app provides functionalities regardless of whether you are enrolled in the Instant Ink program.

5. No Impact on Warranty

• Using standard ink cartridges instead of participating in Instant Ink will not void your printer’s warranty. You can always contact HP support for any issues or questions about your printer’s performance.

6. Subscription Details

• If you’re currently enrolled in HP Instant Ink and decide to discontinue the service, you can switch to standard cartridges at any time. Just make sure to cancel the subscription through your HP Instant Ink account to avoid future charges.

7. Installation of Cartridges

• When you replace cartridges, follow the instructions in your printer’s manual for proper installation. This ensures optimal print quality and performance.

I hope this helps.

Take care and have a good day.
