HP OfficeJet 8702 All-in-One Printer
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Hello,

 

I am suddenly getting the following message when inserting a genuine HP 952xl black ink cartridge:

 

"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."  The cartridge number is F6U19A. 

The printer is HP Office Jet 8700 All-in-One Printer.  This has never happened before.  Is

there a solution to this?  I have done all the unplugging and resetting to no avail. 

 

Thanks for any help on this.

The error was in the monitor window of the printer.  The exact message was:

"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." 

Below is a pic of the cartridge:

The empty one I took out was part of the same HP package (That cartridge operated fine).. Once again, they were genuine. The expiration date should have nothing to do with the cartridge being used if it is (new). If HP updated the printer not to use outdated genuine cartridges, they should refund and/or replace the cartridge, being it was genuine.  The cartridge was a one of two in the package:
