Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

I have an OfficeJet 5255 and all of a sudden I am getting this error:  The indicated cartridges are blocked because they contain non-HP circuitry.  Replace to continue printing.  What the?  These are HP cartridges, non generic, bonafied HP cartridges.  Why all of a sudden am I getting this error???  These cartridges have been installed for months with no problem.
