OfficeJet Pro 6970 continues to try to update Instant Ink even though we've cancelled the subscription and chjange out the II cartridges.  Want to reset factory specs with no Instant Ink content.

Hey there! @UncleAl02, 

Please stop Web Services on the printer.

1. On your printer control panel, touch or press the HP ePrint icon or button, and then touch or press Settings.

   If your printer control panel does not have an icon or button, navigate to Web Services Setup, Network Setup, or Wireless Settings to open the Web Services menu, depending on your printer model.

2. Select Turn Off, Disable, or Remove, depending on your printer model.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions to turn off Web Services.

HP Instant Ink > How to > Instant Ink > Manage Account > Turning Off Web Services

Optional - be sure Web Services is "off":

After you switch off Web Services, wait a minute and then switch off the printer.

Wait until the printer is completely shut down > wait a minute or two.

Switch on the printer.

Install all new HP ink -- replacing/installed "a" new ink won't do it -- all Instant Ink cartridges must be removed regardless of whether they have ink.

Refer this article to know more information about cancelling the instant ink account. Click Here

To restore the printer to the original factory defaults
1. From the printer control panel, touch or swipe down the tab at the top of the screen to open the
Dashboard, and then touch ( Setup ).
2. Touch Printer Maintenance.
3. Touch Restore.
4. Touch Restore Factory Defaults.
A message appears stating that the factory defaults will be restored.
5. Touch Continue.

Hope this helps!

I hope you have a great day! 🙂
