Hello,

 

i just wanted to change the cartridges and bought original one for hp107w from amazon.

Unfortunately it shows that the cartridge is supposed to be incompatible.

 

I bought my Printer on amazon in UAE but after troubleshooting i found out that the region of the Printer is set to Singapur.

Is this maybe the possible problem? After reading thorugh the forums i figured the Inks and printers might be region locked.

 

If yes, is there a way to change the region to the country i am living in?

 

Best regards and thanks! Every help is appreciated 🙂

Hi @Saul_Goodman,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

 

I see that you are looking for help with a regional reset on your Printer.

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

 

Which country did you move from and to?

Do you have the ink cartridges for both regions?

Do you have a printer USB cable or is it connected wirelessly?

Do you have the printer full feature software or the HP smart app and drivers installed on your PC?

If you meet the above conditions then let me know the following details:

1) The operating system of your PC, is it Windows or Mac?

2) Confirm the printer model.

 

Note: Do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc.

 

Take care and have a great day ahead!
