Used supplies in use

[Susan40]

I replaced the yellow & cyan toner cartridges in my printer a while back with HP cartridges purchased from Office Depot.  When I installed them, I got the message "Used supplies in use" and the level of the toner does not show in the lcd display.  I checked today to see if I was missing a firmware upgrade and it appears I am not.

Has anyone else seen this problem?  The cartridges came in HP boxes which are still sitting around waiting to be mailed with the old cartridges for recycling.

Return the toners to where you purchased them for refund or exchange. Bring a copy of the supplies status page with you to show that the printer does not see them as new.

Well, that probably would have been the thing to do at some point last year, but I ignored the problem and I'm sure that Office Depot wouldn't take a return of something I bought last May.  Fortunately, I replaced the black and the magenta cartridges at about the same time and I don't have that problem with those two, so I'll just reorder the cyan & yellow after those two run out. 

And if it happens again, I'll return for replacement right away.

Thanks for your input.
