Hi all,
Have an Office jet 9018. Internet went out and now the printer has an error that it will not print because I have instant Ink cartridges and it says I need an account. I have one and it worked on this printer. Printer shows it is connected to the internet. I only have 1 network. When I try to connect via the HP Instant Ink page to update it, it doesn't find the printer. If I use HP Smart it seems to find it but won't print due to the Instant Ink error... ugh! lol
When I try to print via the phone it states 'The 9010 series appears to be a different printer than previously used'. I can click through but it still won't print due to the Instant Ink error.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Any ideas on how to get the printer to recognize I have Instant Ink?

Hi all,
After searching and searching, I left the printer on, took out all the cartridges, turned it off then back on. Received an error message saying no cartridges so I installed them and presto.... it recognized them and Instant Ink would finally connect.
So that was my fix. Makes no sense but it worked!
