    I use the 50 pages per month at £1.99 and never use more than a dozen per month. Can I lower my plan to 15 per month

    On the right it says "Change Plan" On mine I can only downgrade to 50 pages per month. If you're on 50 pages per month perhaps you can downgrade to 15 pages per month (but I think not...)

    What do people find to print out these days on a regular month by month basis?

    Postage labels, colouring pages & timesheets but mostly use for scanning

    Works well enough for me.

    The shipping of cartridges is very effective (they come from Holland). They always arrive well in advance of being needed, and I usually have spare colour cartridges (3) all the time, with an XL black being sent as the old one runs out.

    It doesn't cost any more for 4-cartridge Instant Ink than it does for 2-cartridge.

    I print a fair amount - postage labels, letters, etc. and my printer also has a document feeder for photocopying which I sometimes use.

    No, once you use a paid tier plan you can't downgrade to free plan. You can only start on free plan and remain on it, paying for excess pages. T&C's specify this

    You can buy a new printer for as little as £20 though and start the free plan on that printer. Cheaper to buy printer and throw away than pay for cartridges

    That is a good idea, will give it thought when I'm back in UK.

    PS. I'm thinking I could live without a printer now. Once back in the UK, I won't need to print off etickets, hotel etc.three times a year as I won't be flying again. £24 a year on ink that I won't need etc. Plus I would benefit from the space the printer takes up. Yes, food for thought.

    For those that are wanting to drop from a paid plan to the free 15 page plan:

    Cancel your instant ink plan from your online HP account and wait for the contract period to expire. On your printer, disable web services. If you then re-enable them you'll get a different printer claim code which should then allow you to subscribe to the 15 page plan for free.
