Are Cartridge 951 and 952 compatible?

[PacificRimQuilt]

I have always used HP Cartridge 951 from Costco and now they only carry 952.  It does not list my printer on the package however it looks the same.  Are they compatable with my HP Officejet Pro 8600?  Thank you!

I understand your response however Typically they have the numbers that are not consecutive.  The cartridge for my printer when from 950 to include 951 so it makes sense that 952 might work as well.  Is there anyway to directly comunicate with HP reguarding this?

I am not understanding the response to this question. I had a printer that used 950 XL and just bought a HP OfficeJet Pro 8715 which takes 952XL(My other HP Office Jet 8600 died) I have new ink cartarages 950 XL and would had to get rid of them as they are quite expensive. I would love to be able to use them in my new printer.

Do you still have your 950 cartridges? I have an office jet 8600 printer. I would buy them from you. Are yuu in Minnesota?

That was NOT THE QUESTION. Please reread.

The money and Big Profit is made from selling ink. It appears that printer manufactueres change ink cartridges with every model printer. Throw awaying cartridges is not their concern, only selling you new ones. Look into refilling then yourself, it's quite easy.

Read my reply to the previous post. Same question as yours.

Well, agreed. We're trying to establish if they're interchangable. Comparing empty 950/951 to these 952 ones (even the black is 952) ..they look practically identical.  You'd think someone would have tried it and be able to tell us if this will work in one direction or the other. I have an Officejet 8600 that uses the 950/951 ones and, because it was cheaper to buy this hp Officejet 8216 with ink than to buy ink for my 8600.. I went for it. The 8216 is Only a printer though.. no scanning or copying. But, if it's ink would work in my 8600, I would be putting it in there.  I'm just fearful of it telling a chip in the ink to never work if I try it.
