What Your Result Means and Your Next Steps

If Your Printer Shows "HP+ Activated"

Your printer is operating within the HP+ ecosystem. To ensure proper functionality and enjoy service benefits, you need to use genuine HP cartridges and keep your printer connected to the internet. Attempting to use third-party ink/toner cartridges may result in malfunctions.

If Your Printer Shows "HP+ Not Activated"

Your printer is currently operating in standard mode. This means you have the flexibility to choose your ink/toner, whether it's genuine HP cartridges or high-quality compatible cartridges.
