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

I see that you are looking for help with logging into to your instant ink account.

A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.

1) Take out the cartridges

2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.

3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.

4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.

5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.

Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges

B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware.

Thanks for all of this information but I don't use the instant ink program. It seems that the failure of the printer to maintain a wireless internet connection causes the HP Smart app to indicate that the printer is not ready even when it has restored connections and works just fine. When the app is set to think the printer is not connected I have to either press OK on the printer to override the error message or restart the printer to reset the status in the app. The HP appears to be the weak here since it can't maintain a proper record of the printer's status.
