Region reset code for HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 All-in-One Printer

[PrinTourist]

I have changed the location of my HP OfficeJet Pro 6978 All-in-One Printer series from North America to France and need to use European cartridges (903). In France cartriges 902 are not sold, only 903 are sold (and are the same except the region compatibility). I can either put my functioning printer in the trash, but I believe HP makes effort for the environment, or ask HP for a reset code. How to get it?

Hi @PrinTourist,

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.

We need to perform a regional reset on the printer to resolve this issue. 

The reset instructions are specific to 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.

I hope this helps! Keep me posted.
