I have always purchased my ink cartridges from Costco. The previous cartridge is 564 XL 2020/05 (Black). The new cartridge is 564XL 2021/04 (Black). The old cartridge still works but is low on ink. The new cartridge doesn't work and an error message comes up saying there's a problem with the printer head. What's the difference if they both say 564 XL?
