For a HP Officejet Pro 8720 I attempted to install a new HP ink cartridge marked as 952 or 952XL cartridge.

I receive an older generation cartridge error.  "The indicated cartridge is an older generation cartridge that does not

work in your printer. It can still be used with some older printer models."

 

Please help. Otherwise this will just be a massive waste of brand new ink.
