Product: HP OfficeJet 3830 All-in-One Printer

Hello, I need help with a regional reset for my HP OfficeJet 3830 printer. I recently moved from the USA to Israel, and I have HP 302 cartridges (F6V17AE) that are showing an "incompatible cartridge" error.

Here are my printer details:

  • Model: HP OfficeJet 3830 All-in-One (K7V40A)
  • (edited)
  • Firmware Version: SPP5FN2223AR
  • Previous Region: USA
  • New Region: Israel

Could you please assist me with a regionalization reset so I can use these cartridges in Israel?

Thank you!

@katzim5105, Welcome to the HP Support. 

  

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. You need to have the printer full feature software installed on your computer. 

2. 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. 

3. Make sure HP Smart App is installed too. 

  

Do keep me posted. 

  

Take care and have a good day.
