Printer saying cartridges have expired

[Islander20]

I was unable to print due to 'expired' ink cartridges although they are fairly new. I then replaced them with some new spare cartidges I had in the cupboard, but it said they had expired too. I then spent a lot of money to buy new and I've reset printer and still getting error code:0xc05d1281. Can anyone help me please?

Open and Read:

Aging Ink Supplies Stop Working to Protect the Ink System

This exact model is not listed as a "stop and no override"

That said, the next section does indicate that even with override allowed (and in place), the ink cartridge will eventually stop working (no recourse).

If the ink cartridges are inside of the "no recourse" time frame, the instructions ask you to read the User Guide for override instructions.

User Guide

Partial Excerpt

Ink cartridge(s) are expired Cause:The ink in the indicated ink cartridge(s) is at the expiration date.Solution:Each ink cartridge has an expiration date. The purpose of expiration is to protect the printing system and to ensure ink quality. When you receive an ink cartridge(s) are expired message, remove and replace the expired ink cartridge, and then close the message. You can also continue printing without replacing the ink cartridge, by following the instructions on the HP All-in-One or the ink cartridge expiration message on your computer screen. HP recommends replacing the expired ink cartridges. HP cannot guarantee the quality or reliability of expired ink cartridges.Device service or repairs required as a result of using expired ink will not be covered under warranty.

Presumably, then, if the override solution is going to work, and until that final "drop dead" time frame, you can override the message using one of the methods included in the explanation.

Will it do so?
