Hi  @JPC79,
 
Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Thanks for reaching out!


I  understand how  it must be to move regions and suddenly find your printer cartridges aren’t being recognized.  

 

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.

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. 

 

I'm glad I could help! 😊 If this resolved your issue, please mark it as "Accepted Solution" and click "Yes" on "Was this reply helpful?"—your feedback not only keeps us going but also helps others find the solution faster! 👍

 

Take care and have an amazing day ahead! 🚀

Hi @Deep_World,

I can access the region change information, but I can not open your private message anymore.

Hi @Deep_World and all,

Can anyone help?

It is very frustrating, I need to print documents urgently and I've stuck for a few days now with a printer which doesn't recognise cartridges made for the very same model in another part of the world... Makes me think that I shouldn't by original cartridges anymore, or even buy a printer from another brand.

Hi @JPC79,

Kindly confirm to which country in europe are you looking to reset the printer to?
