Hi @eternityrus,

 

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.

Hey @Rachel571 

Thanks for quick response! What steps do I need to make? Also is it possible to do this wirelessly, cause I don't have a cable handy, but can get one quickly, if necessary.

Hi @eternityrus,

Thank you for reaching out, It is suggested to use a USB cable. The wifi will not work for the reset.

I can surely help you with the regional reset. If the above criteria are met.  I request you to please continue with the steps below.

 

Please follow the steps below.

1.) Connect the printer via USB (usually you need it in case your internet connection is not strong or may have downtime while performing it. You can skip it and perform the process under wifi as well)

2.) Launch HP Smart and click the product ink levels to open the Supported Cartridges window.

3.) Clicking ink levels in HP Smart

Hold down the CTRL and SHIFT keys (Cmd + Space in MAC) and then right-click on the empty area to the right of the ink levels.

4.) Clicking to the right of the ink levels

The Set New Regions window opens.

please share a screenshot of this window with me

Anything else I can do?
