Older Generation Message

[Confused114]

I have a HP OfficeJet 8720.  I can't print because I am getting "older generation Cartridge" message.  It is a new cartridge and this has never happened to me before.  How can I fix it?

Same problem here, same model printer.  The new cartridge (the problem one) was from a two-pack (the first cartridge from the pack had the same information as the second one, and the first cartridge never had a problem).
