I have recently moved from the HK to UK with my HP Tango X printer. I bought HP 303 ink which is suitable for Tango X but it said I can’t use this ink. I found online and in other forums that my printer has to change the region code to use Europe edition ink. Can anyone help me to change the region code so that my newly bought Tango X can be used? Thank you very much!

Hi @BernieOrange,

 

Welcome to HP Support Community.  


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

 

I will be more than happy to help you out here.

 

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

 

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.

 

Do keep me posted.
 

Take care and have a good day.
