"Older Generation of Printer" Message

Question

I have just replaced the Black 61 XL cartridge in my Envy 4500 All-in-One.  I removed the old/spent cartridge, which had been working fine, and replaced it with a new identical purchased-at-the-same-time cartridge.  I now get a message that says, "Cartridge for older generation of printer."  These are both remanufactured cartridges.  

Answer 1

The cartridge that works and the one that does not are not likely identical.  As noted in my previous post there were some changes made in 2012.  Cartridges with an expiration date earlier than April 1, 2014 are the older generation cartridges.  What are the dates on the "good" and "bad" cartridges?
If the cartridge has been removed from the packaging and opened, check the Warranty Ends date on the cartridge.
HP 61 and HP 802: if the Warranty Ends date is 2014/04/01 or later, then the cartridge is the updated version.
HP 122 and HP 301: if the Warranty Ends date is 2014/07/01 or later, then the cartridge is the updated version.
