I moved recently with my HP Deskjet 2050A from Egypt (where I used HP 122 - Cartridges) back to Switzerland (where we have to use HP 301 - Cartridges) which is why I now need to now how to do a region reset. Can anyone please help me to perform this region reset from the Middle East to the Western Europe region (Printer shall be used on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 10 systems)?
Thank you.

Hi @Sensuifu,
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.
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 instructions to perform a full reset and re-initialize the printer.
