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 set of cartridges for the new region, once the reset is complete cartridges from the original region will no longer work.
I will ask to have your case escalated as the HP document on the regionalization reset has been removed.

Hi @JL2024123
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If you move to a different country we need to perform a regional reset in order to make the printer work in the new region. I will surely help you with the Regional reset.
1. The printer should be connected using a printer USB cable to the computer.
2. You need to have the printer full feature software installed on your computer.
3. 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.
4. Make sure HP Smart App is installed too.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.

@JL2024123 I would expect @Sneha_01 will be sending you a private message with further instructions that cannot be shared in the public forum. The private message should include instructions for getting information from the printer and later information on what should be entered in a special area to perform the regionalization reset. When logged into the forum look for the envelope in the upper right of the screen just to the left of the bell. A number in a circle on the envelope will indicate you have a private message. Click on the envelope to access the message. Please check to make sure the message is from HP Support agent @Sneha_01.
