Trying to use a HP300 uk cartridge in an australian HP2560 Printer?

[boulder38]

Hi Guys,

Have friends over in australia at the moment and they brought HP300 Cartridges over here to take over for their familys printer which is a HP2560 which was brought in australia.

Theyve inserted one of the cartridges but comes up saying incompatible.

Is this a region thing like with the dvds? and is there any way around it?


Thanks
Luke
