The printer was working fine but no longer connected to HP network. I have tried and tried to reconnect by clicking on the reconnect icon on the HP ink page but nothing happens. How do I reconnect to the HP Instant Ink site?

It's great to have you back and your patience is greatly appreciated.
After reviewing your post thoroughly, I did go through the account page and see that the printer is Offline due to which Instant ink server is not able to detect the ink level on the ink cartridges installed on your printer. Is the printer powered on and connected to your home WiFi?
Is the wireless light on the printer steady blue or blinking?

Let’s start by performing a network power drain. Follow the steps below:
Turn off all the devices connected on your network including the PC, Smartphones, printer, modem (if present) and router. Make sure all the devices in the network are turned off / unplugged.
Wait for 2-3 minutes.
Now turn on the modem if present. Wait till all the lights are steady and idle.
Then turn on the router. Again wait for a couple of minutes so that the lights are all steady.
Then turn on the PC and other devices.
If you are facing any issue while using the printer then try using HP Print and Scan Doctor (PSDR). PSDR is an automated tool which can diagnose and resolve printing and scanning problems. Please go to this link: HP Printers - Using HP Print and Scan Doctor (Windows) to download and run HP PSDR. Once you open the program, select your printer and click on “Fix Printing” to automatically diagnose and fix the issue.
Alternatively, I would suggest here is to follow the steps suggested in the support document for - HP Printers - Printer is Offline (Windows)
