Welcome to HP Forums. This is a great place to get support, find answers and tips.
I understand that you have an Instant Ink Account and you have replaced the cartridges but you are unable to print.
I'll try my best to help
Are you getting any error messages?
Please remove the cartridges, clean the electrical contacts with a Lint-Free cloth and reinstall them firmly
Then perform a Printer Reset
(1) Turn the printer on, if it is not already on.
(2) Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you continue.
(3) With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
(4) Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
(5) Wait at least 60 seconds.
(6) Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
NOTE: HP recommends connecting the printer power cord directly to the wall outlet.
(7) Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
(8) Turn on the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
The printer might go through a warm-up period. The printer lights might flash, and the carriage might move.
Wait until the warm-up period finishes and your printer is idle and silent before you proceed
I will send you a Private Message, please reply back with your Instant Ink Account Number or Email Address and I'll look into it
