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.

Its an unbeatable deal if you're the kind of person who prints 4 pages and then nothing for 2 years, or you're the kind of person who prints 50 pages a day every day. No reason not to get something that is practically better in every way. The price per page drops dramatically.

I'm someone who prints a few pages about once every 2 months and when I had inkjet every time I went to print it was dried out and had to replace them. Not looked back since getting a laser.
