Hello,
I have am OfficeJet Pro 6960. As I moved from EU to the US, the 902 cartridge inserted get an error "The indicated cartridges are not intended for use in this printer". How can I reset the region to support the new region?
As I purchased the printer few years ago, I can't contact HP support.
Thank you

Hi @RonyB1
Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
If you move to a different country we need to perform a regional reset in order to make the printer work in the new region. I will surely help you with the Regional reset.
1. The printer should be connected using a printer USB cable to the computer.
2. You need to have the printer full feature software installed on your computer.
3. 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.
4. Make sure HP Smart App is installed too.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
