I recently changed the ink cartridges in my printer because they were low. The new ones I put in were purchased a while ago but are HP and the correct cartridge for the printer. Now my printer will not print and gives me a message: "The cartridge indicated is an older generation cartridge that does not work in your printer." It printed at least one page after I changed cartridges but now just this message comes up. Any suggestions?
