Pirates who kidnap your printer

Pirates who electronically blocked my printer then said that they couldn’t possibly do that so to prove a point I bought my own ink cartridges and my printer was instantly fixed.

These people are pirates who electronically kidnap your printer unless you pay them money to unblock it

Outrageous they should not be allowed access to peoples printers I have had no working printer for 12 months because of them controlling how many pages I am allowed to print!

Biggest regret of my life buying a hp printer deskjet2800 and enrolling on the instant ink scheme

By using HP Instant Ink you never have to worry about running out and where would you go to buy another cartridge!!! Cartridges always arrive before you run out and an envelope is enclosed for the return of used cartridges. I would highly recommend this company.

Aaaahh - Infinite chatbots and logins - Free plan IS NOT FREE

Aaaahh - there are just chatbots and login and NO SUPPORT. I signedup for the free paper and ink with my new printer. I cancelled the free months paper plan within 2 weeks. The site said that it is free - and it will charge me £11.99 on 2 June 2026.

That's NOT FREE. I cannot speak to anyone, I just get chat bots, virtual assistans. No email, phone number. I'm literrally going crazy. HP has so many app logins to keep you busy till you give up.

Cancle the FREE PLAN within the timescale, hence it is FREE. DO NOT BILL ME!!!

NEVER sign up for this service (it’s not a service) they FINE you for printing more than your allocated pages using your own electricity, your own paper, your own WiFi. They say it’s a SERVICE but all they supply for that £6.49 a month is some ink when you are running low which is probably about 3 times a year. They can’t explain to you what the additional charges are for when you go over your “allotted” pages each month. Just that you have to pay £1.50 for each 10 pages you go over - they are not supplying the electricity, WiFi or paper just a SERVICE? I’d like to call it a FINE.

I have been signed up with them since April 2019 and hadn’t really looked into this until printing for my son’s wedding. I printed 858 pages this month and was charged a whopping £87.49 for the privilege of using MY printer, MY electricity, MY paper and MY WiFi.

I recommend you stay well away from them. I have cancelled my subscription and will be telling everyone that will listen not to use their service. It’s daylight robbery especially when they can’t tell you what that SERVICE CHARGE is actually for! That’s because it’s a FINE!! Don’t sign up and if you’ve signed up - cancel your subscription

And as you can see from the reply below - there is no explanation for a fine of £83.00 less the ink (which I didn’t need as I only averaged over the last 5 years printing 66 sheets per month) I have just suddenly received another ink cartridge that will have to go in the bin as I won’t be able to use it now. What a complete waste of money. I’ve paid a lot of money to this system and I don’t appear to be the only one who has been mistreated. Thanks HP you truly are a load of rubbish.

Hi Mrs Ward,
HP Instant Ink is a subscription printing plan. Your printer tells us when to send more ink, and we deliver it to you before you need it. We send you HP Instant Ink cartridges when you first sign up for the service, and additional replacement cartridges are sent as needed based on ink usage, not by the month.

You choose an Instant Ink plan based on the number of pages you would like to print monthly. Your monthly fee covers the pages in your plan, allows you to roll over unused pages (up to triple your plan pages), ink delivery, and recycling. You are not purchasing ink cartridges through this service. For this reason, the subscription cartridges do not work after cancellation. The printer itself is never disabled, and you can install store-bought cartridges to keep printing.

We're happy to help at 0207 660 6027 (choose the Instant Ink option) Monday through Friday 08:00 to 18:00 and Saturday/Sunday 10:00 to 18:00. You can also respond to our request for more information.

Been with them for years and had minor issues. The biggest problem came when I canceled my subscription. And that immediately rendered my ink cartridge in operative. What a waste of ink. Can't use the cartridges even though they were almost full.

Hi Troy,
Thank you for your feedback. Instant Ink is a subscription printing plan, not a cartridge purchasing service. Many page plans are available to suit any level of printing, so your page plan can be adjusted as your printing needs change.

If you cancel, the Instant Ink cartridges will stop working at the end of your final billing cycle, and you will be billed for your final payment. At that time, you can insert store-bought HP cartridges from your preferred retailer in order to keep printing. The printer itself is unaffected by the subscription cancellation but, if still installed, the Instant Ink subscription cartridges will not function.

We're happy to help at 1-855-785-2777, Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, or on Saturday or Sunday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Eastern time. You can also respond to our request for more information.

a very decent price home printing experience. The best thing I like about the HP printing subscription is the ease and flexibility with which changes to the monthly number of prints can be made for a minimal price increase and the option to revert back when not needed

Up to the last month

Up to the last month, I had no problems with the brand. Suddenly, I cannot get a connection to the printer from anyone in my family on my network. I tried all the advice given on the HP site, and still I cannot get the connection.
Because I have been highly occupied, I haven't had the time to fix it, and I need some expert advice to connect the printer again.
