If it's new and bought locally, check the boring stuff before calling HP. The printer has to be online itself, not just connected to your PC by USB, and set up in the HP Smart app. Run a firmware update from the printer's own menu as well, older firmware is a common reason enrolment just errors out. Not every model supports it either, so check yours is on HP's eligible list.

Did you buy it used or open-box? If a previous owner had it on Instant Ink and never cancelled, the printer is still tied to their account and shows as not eligible for anyone else. Only HP support can release it in that case. The other one is region. The printer and your HP account have to be in the same country, and some printers are locked to the region they were sold in.
