I currently use a HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 which uses 955 Ink Cartridges. When I installed my brand new 955 cartridges i bought last year to replace my ink, it indicates that the cartridges are generation cartridges that don't work with my printer. The cartridges are from the same batch that I purchased last year. Is there any solution for this issue?Error Message on my HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 PrinterError Message on my HP OfficeJet Pro 8710 PrinterInk Cartridges bought at the same timeInk Cartridges bought at the same time

This just happened on my 8710 also.  I am thinking about an EcoTech because I am so frustrated at this.  Hope HP comes up with a solution soon.

I understand you are receiving an "Older generation cartridge" error.

I have a HP Office Jet Pro 8720 All-in-One printer. I replaced the black ink cartridge with a new one-same HP 952XL cartridge that I've always used  but I received the following message:

"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.

If you do not own an older printer model and your cartridge is a genuine HP cartridge, contact HP Support for more information."

I'm unable to print. Please send me a solution.

Thanks,

Paned
