Can I use a US 902 cartridge in my UK HP printer that uses 903 cartridge?

Uk Officejet Pro 6970

Thank you I was aware of this list. However, I was not aware of it when I was visiting family stateside. There was a special deal on ink cartridges for the HP 6970 compared to prices here in the UK. So I purchased a few. My print is the same model but uses 903 cartridges instead of 902, so hence the question can my printer in the UK with the same model 6970 use the 902 cartridge? Will they work?

No.  In order for them to work you would have to call HP and have your printer Regionalized for the country you are in.  Now those cartridges will work, but your original cartridges will not.  You would have to do the process all over again.

HP Printers - Find and Install Cartridges after Moving to another Country.  The printer needs to be regionalized to the new country.

You will need new cartridges from the country you are in at the time you contact HP below.
