Printer Vent

We bought an HP printer in Switzerland. Used it for the year we lived there. Then ended up packing it up with us when we moved back to the US.

We just use a plug adapter to turn it on here. But the ink ran out last week. I go to the store with just the model name and buy the ink cartridge that corresponds with it. Get home notice the numbers are different on the cartridge and think nothing of it. Put it in the printer and it say incompatible!

I guess HP printer ink is not universal! Never thought this would be a problem! So now we are stuck. FIL is coming to visit on Saturday and could bring some. But really it's just going to be a continual hassle.

Re: Printer Vent

  • We had the same issue, but in reverse, when we moved to Germany. Our MIL was also on her way over but a few days before her flight there was someone bringing bad stuff via printer ink and cartridges were banned from flights. Nice. Anyway, my H was able to find some downloadable thing online to switch our printer to start accepting the ink here and it now works and we don't have to worry about it. Not sure what it's called, how he got it, but if you need details, PM me and I'll ask him about it when he gets home.

    That's what I figured out from google too. I probably won't get deep into research and doing it till midweek. I'm pretty much on my own with this. DH ignored my pleas to help google the problem. *sigh* if he's not the one needing it he'll take his sweet time!

  • Isn't it just ridiculous?

    I hope to live in a world where everything is integrated internationally.  As if that'll ever happen.

  • ugh, that's annoying! I didn't even think that could be a problem. Good to know. They really do need to stop making things country/zone specific. I understand doing this for videos and games and such, but printer ink?... really?

    I hope you can figure out a way to make it work and that it's as simple as what travelturtle suggested.
