I purchased an Office jet 3830 in Hong Hong a few years ago I recently moved to Europe which requires a different cartridge reference.
How do I change the region so that I can use the cartridge available in Western Europe

Hi @olidamar,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I'd like to help!
I understand you moved, and the printer is not accepting the new region cartridges.
NOTE: regional reset is attempted on a best effort basis, it might not work on all printers.
If this does not work, we cannot re-attempt it as it may brick the printer.
We need to perform a regional reset on the printer to resolve this issue.
The reset instructions are specific for your printer and performing those steps on a different printer may brick the device.
I've sent you a private message with reset instructions, follow the reset instruction to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
