HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M180nw

My HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M180nw is a few years old and has been a reliable printer for me.

 

Today I tried to replace one of the color cartridges- I bought the exact same HP color cartridge that is in there now.  Unfortunately I'm getting an error "Indicated cartridges blocked for containing a non-HP chip"

 

This is really frustrating as the cartridge IS an HP cartridge.  Why does it think it's not?

 

At this point, the printer cannot be used until I fix this.  Any suggestions on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thank you

Thank you- I was able to connect with an agent from HP- he took control and fixed the issue.
