Need to reset the region to US for two of our printers we bought from Germany. I have already manually changed the region to the US under preferences/international section, but new cartridges are still not recognized by the printer.

@Tristan32, Welcome to the HP Support.
I will be more than happy to help you out here.
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.
Do keep me posted.
Take care and have a good day.
