Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I am a HP ink subscriber.  I received a replacement black cartridge.  It installed fine.  Printer works.

 

But the printer screen is stuck on the following message:  HP Instant Ink Cartridge:  (letter k) thank you for installing your HP instant Ink Cartridges.  Don't forget to recycle your used cartridges.  You can find info on how to recycle at

 

That's the end of the message.  Pressing the OK does nothing.  In fact, the display screen is stuck, no other options can be accessed.  I've restarted the printer several times, plugged and unplugged it, to no effect.  Same screen pops up.  Any suggestions?

I understand the printer screen is stuck at this message. Kindly check the HP Smart app for notifications or options.

 

Unplug the power cable and hold the power button down for 10-15 seconds and release it. Power on the printer and check.

No soap.  Still stuck on the screen.

Incidentally, I tried unplugging overnight and then plugging in again; same message.

I went on to the instant ink login synced my computer and also opened the front of printer for good measure. The message appeared on the Instant Ink website and managed to dismiss it from there.
