Hi @Adrian2025,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

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

We understand you're trying to use HP 205A toner with your HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M181fw after moving to Poland. Unfortunately, toner regional resets are not supported for this printer model.
 

HP toner cartridges are region-specific, and printers are configured at the factory to accept cartridges designated for the region where they were originally sold. Once configured, this regional setting becomes permanent and cannot be changed or reset, even if the device is moved to a different country.
 

Since your printer was originally set up to work with HP 204A toner, it will not accept HP 205A toner from the EMEA (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) region.

We understand this may not be the answer you were hoping for, but we hope this clarifies the situation. Let us know if you have any other questions.

 

I hope this answers your issue.

 

Take care, and have an amazing day!
