Older Generation Cartridge Error

[LumpyMae]

I just put in brand new HP ink cartridges, the exact name numbers, lot numbers and expiration date as the one that ran out of ink in my HP OFFICEJET 6958 and I am getting the message "The indicated cartridge is an older generation cartridge that does not work in your printer."  The black cartridge is the second cartridge from a two-pack that the first cartridge is the empty one I am replacing. One cartridge from the first pack worked, and now the second one is "older generation" and won't work? I have another two pack with different lot numbers but same expiration dates, tried one of those cartridges and got the same error!

I may never buy HP products again!!

Please look for a private message from an identified HP contact. Additionally, keep in mind not to publicly post personal information (serial numbers and case details).
