Hi @Avmaglio,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
I'd be glad to help you, please note that HP Printers use different ink cartridges in different region and to use the ink cartridges sold in the current region, we need to change the region settings on the printer.
I request you to please get back to me with the following information, so that I can help you change the region settings on the printer.
Do you still have the ink cartridges for both the regions
Do you have a printer USB cable or trying to setup via Wifi?
Regional Reset can only be Performed on Windows.
Do you have the printer full feature software and drivers installed on your PC?
Uninstall HP Smart & Install latest HP App on the Printer.
Hope this helps!
Take care and have an amazing day!
I'm an HP Employee.

Do you have a printer USB cable or trying to setup via Wifi? --> I connect the USB cable
Regional Reset can only be Performed on Windows. --> I have Windows

Hi @Avmaglio,
Step 2:
1) Launch the printer software from the desktop icon or, from the Start menu, click Start, All Programs, HP, the Product Name, and then the Product Name again.
2) Double-click the Estimated Ink Levels icon in the printer software. The Estimated Ink Levels window opens.
3) Press and hold the CTRL and SHIFT keys, and then right-click anywhere in the Estimated Ink Levels window, except for a button. The Set New Region window opens.
4) If the Set New Region window fails to open, right-click to the right and left of the Estimated Ink Levels window.
5) Take a screenshot of the screen and send it to me in Private.
