  1. Your account is defined by your email address
  2. Your email address is unchangeable
  3. You can create a new account with a new email address, but you can't re-register the same printer, because it was already registered to your old email address

This means you can be locked out of registering your printer. Why are all printer companies the stupidest companies ever?

Sure it's stupid, but I don't see how it's really an issue. If you want that printer registered to a new account so badly, it seems you have to contact them.

This. Mail to customer support and make them fix it.

If they won't, find their GDPR contact and make them fix it.

As someone not in the EU...I wish.

Probably not an option here since registering likely involves country and home address, but in general, life pro tip: many companies don't know where you are resident and don't ask if you approach their GDPR contact...

Thanks, SHITPOSTING_ACCOUNT. Some solid advice there.

I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
