HP OfficeJet 6950 All-in-One Printer

Hello,

I purchased an HP OfficeJet 6950 in EU and then moved to US.  The cartridge recommended (903) is not available in US stores.  At Staples I was told to use 902 cartridges (genuine HP) but after inserting I got the error message "The Indicated cartridges are not intended for use in this printer."  

 

How do I get my Printer to accept Genuine HP cartridges sold in US, and what cartridge model should I use?

 

Thanks,

David

You will need to Contact HP to request a "Regionalization Reset". There should not be any charge for this, it is covered as part of the cartridge warranty. You will need to have access to your computer and printer while on the line with HP. You will also need to have a complete set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work.  HP's web page on the subject is here.

 

In the US your Officejet 6950 will use the HP 902 or 902XL cartridges:
