My HP printer is connected to Instant Ink but it doesn't sense that my ink level is low. How do I get new cartridges? The last cartridges I got was back in April 2017. It's been about 18 months and now my printer is saying that it needs new cartridges but my Instant Ink account shows nothing was sent to me. What have I been paying for all these months? I thought I was getting hands-free ink cartridge replacements. I feel like I'd rather just cancel the service and go back to buying the cartridges myself.

Is your printer turned on and connected to the internet? The document here has information on contacting HP to get replacement Instant Ink cartridges. Log into the HP Instant Ink site, the phone number (or chat option for some countries) will be listed in the lower right of the opening screen. You can also check the connection status.
