Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds like your HP LaserJet MFP M140we printer is having an issue with your HP account, even though the printer is already listed under your devices. This problem is often related to HP+ or Instant Ink services, authentication errors, or a temporary glitch.

Check for Firmware Updates

Disable & Re-enable HP+ Services (If Applicable)
