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.
