Product: HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283fdw

Hi,

 

We brought the MFP M283fdw from Germany to New Zealand, and now we need to buy a black toner. I got a new A206x to replace the black one, but just realized it's not compatible (in Europe the toner is A207). Is there a way to change the region in the printer? Or are we completely lost?

 

Thanks,
Juniarto

Hi @jsaputra,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

 

I see that you are looking for help with a regional reset on your Printer.

To perform a printer region reset you need to meet the following conditions:

 

Which country did you move from and to?

Do you have the ink cartridges for both regions?

Do you have a printer USB cable or is it connected wirelessly?

Do you have the printer full feature software or the HP smart app and drivers installed on your PC?

If you meet the above conditions then let me know the following details:

1) The operating system of your PC, is it Windows or Mac?

2) Confirm the printer model.

 

Note: Do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc.

 

Take care and have a great day ahead!

Hi @Irwin6,

 

Thank you for the reply. See my answers below:

Which country did you move from and to?

- From Germany to New Zealand

Do you have the ink cartridges for both regions?

- I have currently only the black one A206x, if the reset works, I'm going to buy the rest of three toners since they are almost empty.

Do you have a printer USB cable or is it connected wirelessly?

- Wireless (but I can connect it via USB as well)

Do you have the printer full feature software or the HP smart app and drivers installed on your PC?

- Not yet, please let me know the URL.

If you meet the above conditions then let me know the following details:

1) The operating system of your PC, is it Windows or Mac?

- Mac (and Linux)

2) Confirm the printer model

MFP M283fdw

 

Thanks,

Juniarto

Region can be changed but you will then need to change ALL your cartridges in order to have it work and the number of times you can change the region is limited.

If you find the information provided useful or solves your problems, help other users find the solution easier by marking my post as an accepted solution. Clicking "yes" on "was this reply helpful" also increases the chances that this solution will help others.

Hi,

Is it enough just to install HP software on Mac and change something on it to change the region? We never did this before, so I guess, it would be our 1st time changing the region.

 

Thanks,
