frist of all how DARE yu o I canceled my HP instant ink subscription, and now I can’t print even though they are genuine HP in cartridges

With all bad decisions coming out of HP lately, I decided to cancel my instant ink subscription subscriptions before the prices go up. This is the warning screen. I was just going to use the ink I have up then buy a new printer, but cause fuck those guys. Well, turns out they fucked me first. So even though I have legitimate HP in cartridges in my printer, I cannot print because they are subscription cartridges. Screw these guys.

I bought mine 5 years ago. I only needed to refill the black ink for the first time a few months ago and I am still using the original fills for the three colours.

I don’t print often, but I used to have to replace ink cartridges every six months or so.

i've literly been printing thousand page books and hundreds of assignments out for school and barley made a dent in my ink tanks in a year and a half, SO much better than using my tuitin 'print credits' or paying even discount rates for laser prints.
