Region Change (Europe to NZ) HPdeskjet 3630 and using Ink cartridge compatibility from both regions

[OHLZEE]

Hi we moved from Europe to NZ over a year ago with our DeskJet 3630 printer. I managed to have enough Ink to last for the 8 months and have run out specifically of the black ink cartridge (302). Ive found the compatible Cartridge (63) but the printer doesn't recognise it. I understand I need to change the printer region for it to be able to use the ink(63) cartridge. If I do this will this then render the tricolour cartridges (302) from Europe useless? How can I use both from both regions as cartridges aren't that cheap here. Appreciate the help and advice on what to do before changing the regions on the printer.

Hi @OHLZEE,

I'd like to help!

I understand you moved and would like to use cartridges from both regions.

You will not be able to use two cartridges from different regions.

You can print with only the color cartridge till you run out and then reset the printer to the new region.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.

THANK YOU AFTER I POSTED MY QUERY I KIND OF FIGURED THAT WOULD BE THE CASE. I HAD REMOVED THE BLACK INK CARTRIDGE WHICH WAS EMPTY AND RAN THE TRICOLOR ON ITS OWN. SO ILL USE US THE CARTRIDGES LEFT BEFORE I RESET TO CHANGE THE REGION. THANKS FOR CONFIRMING THE ABOVE.

THANK YOU AGAIN
