So the problem i am having is of region change, i haven't changed the the region but the printer has. I bought it from an online store and the seller had imported it from somewhere in Gulf Region and i am in Asia Pacific, now this printer came with HP 123 cartridges and ones the black ran out i started looking for it but no authorized reseller keeps it as it is not for my region, all i could find were "re-manufactured"  cartridges, so i went through HP SMART to look for a replacement supply and it gave HP 63/63xl as replacements, now these were available easily so i bought the black one, at this point i was not aware that HP printers were regional locked, i became aware of it after printer gave me an "incompatible cartridge' error and i went online to troubleshoot it.
Now i have been for the last 90min trying to contact HP support but HP doesn't have a dedicated support for my country or i couldn't find it, it sends me to the virtual agent or re directs me to US page and when i correct the region it shows that "hp no longer provides service for this product", i just need an email address or something though which i can change my region? Please help me out. Thanks

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.  

  

In order to access your private messages, click the private message icon on the upper right corner of your HP Forums profile, next to your profile Name or simply click on this link

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
