I installed two new 950XL black ink cartridges in my 12 year old 8600 model printer and both full cartridges show "depleted". I tried all the internet tricks and resets with no luck. Is it possible that a chip reader component inside the printer is malfunctioning? They are refills from an eBay seller that I have purchased from many times with no problems. I weighed both and compared it to the old one and they appear to be full and with no visible defects. If I knew the cartridge chips were defective I would buy an HP brand but I hate to blow $60 if the 12 year old printer is defective. Any help is appreciated.
