M980A

Good Morning 

 

I have an office jet Pro 8720, Model M980A, Serial [edited] that was purchased in Europe. 

The printer is stated as using the following ink cartridges 

CMY 953, 953XL 

K       953, 953XL, 957XL 

 

 

We were informed that the 952XL cartriges purchased in the US are compatible if the region on the printer is changed to US. 


I have tried this and only reiced the Error message "The Indicated Cartridges are not intended for use in this printer" 

 

Can you please confirm if there is a step we have missed or if these are incompatible. 

 

Regards 
Lee

Hi Lee,

Where are you located, in Europe or in the US?

 

You may contact HP to reset the printer to a different region if you moved with the printer, not to a different country than yours, in order to allow the printer to accept cartridges for another country you must contact HP support to configure the printer for a such.
