How can I use a HP printer bought from the UK with ink cartridges from Hong Kong

How can I use a HP printer (HP ENVY 6020e) bought from the UK with ink cartridges from Hong Kong?

I subscribed to the HP+ Instant Ink plan in the UK and had it cancelled when I moved back to HK.  Now I can’t subscribe to the Instant Ink plan in HK — does it require a regional reset?  How do I do it?  

Or would it be easier to just buy cartridges locally - are they compatible? 

Printer model is HP ENVY 6020e

Hi @IYeung,

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.
