I have two cartridges from the last multi pack purchase from office depot that I tried to install. I get the message older generation cartridge won't work. However the other cartridges from the same multi pack that were installed earlier work and do not give me the message. The date code on all of the cartridges is the same. How can I get these cartridges to work ?

Or is the solution to buy a refill kit and refill my old cartridges ?
