Hi community,
I brought my M28W printer to UK and recently the cartridge needed replacement. I bought an HP 44A cartridge and got incompatible error messages. Is there a procedure to enable using the 44A in my M28W printer?
Thank you for your help,
Dom

Hi @DSFCHK,
Welcome to HP Support Community!
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 instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.

To perform a printer region reset you need to meet the following conditions:
1. You need to have the printer full feature software installed on your computer.
2. 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.
3. Make sure HP Smart App is installed too.
