Deskjet 2755e rejecting ink cartridges US/UK

[Helen166]

Hi, We own a Deskjet 2755e which we bought in the US. We have returned to the UK and when replacing the ink cartridges we keep getting an ‘incompatible cartridge’ error message. After reading on forums it seems we need to do a region reset. Can someone help with this?

thanks!

Hi @Helen166,

Welcome to the HP Support Community

I'd like to help!

I understand you moved, and the printer is not accepting the new region cartridges.

NOTE: regional reset is attempted on a best-effort basis, it might not work on all printers. 

We need to perform a regional reset on the printer to resolve this issue.

The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.

I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instructions to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

Hi @Helen166,

Welcome to HP Support Community.  

I will be more than happy to help you out here.

To perform a printer region reset you need to meet the following conditions:

1. The printer should be connected using a printer USB cable to the computer.
2. You need to have the printer full feature software installed on your computer.
3. You need to have all the cartridges either from the region/country from where the printer was purchased originally or the new region/country to which you want to reset it to.
4. Make sure HP Smart App is installed too.

Do keep me posted.
 

I hope this helps. 
 

Take care and have a good day.
