Hi @duolc1101,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community.

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to assist you.

 

I see that you are looking for help with a regional reset on your Printer.

To perform a printer region reset you need to meet the following conditions:

 

Which country did you move from and to?

Do you have the ink cartridges for both regions?

Do you have a printer USB cable?

Do you have the printer full feature software and drivers installed on your PC?

If you meet the above conditions then let me know the following details:

1) The operating system of your PC, is it Windows or Mac?

2) Confirm the printer model.

 

Note: Do not share any of your personal information such as serial, phone number, email ID, etc.

 

Take care and have a great day ahead!

Hi @Irwin6, thanks for your reply. I have moved from Hong Kong to the UK, and just bought a 304 cartridge in the UK to replace the old 65 brought from Hong Kong. Yes, I have both 65 and 304 cartridges from both regions. However, I have lost the USB cable. Is it essential to reset the region ?Since my HP Deskjet 3720 always run online wireless, actually never used the cable. It is operated on Windows 10 64bit of PC with HP Smart App installed.

Hi @duolc1101,

 

Thank you for confirming the above information.

If your computer is connected to the printer with a USB or wireless connection, you can open the Set New Regions window with HP Smart by following these steps.

 

1) Open the HP Smart app.

 

2) On the Home screen, click gear icon.

 

3) Click About, press and hold Ctrl + Shift, and then right-click on the HP Smart logo.

The region reset screen opens.

 

4) Take a screenshot of the screen and send it to me in a private message.

Hi Irwin6, I did send 3 messages via the private message function by both replying your message and send a message from your profile. so that is rare those messages could not be delivered but without a failure pop up.

 

Updated, I called the HP help line and eventually got this problem solved by two lovely supportive ladies.

 

Thank you all the same.
