So I did it too! I purchased the wrong cartridge from Staples, got it home and opened it only to find that it's the WRONG ONE! They won't take it back and it is $100! I feel so foolish but, of course, it is in perfect condition, unused. Does HP accept exchanges if we return it to them directly?

Not that I am aware - "sympathy returns" might be considered good business if there are one or ten.
Not-so-much if there are thousands -- and there well could be that many people who make the same mistake.
That said...
You can hope until told otherwise.
I will send your message for review.
Should something come of that request, you will hear back here before the agent uses other means to contact you.
