Using the old 564 black ink cartridge with some 5500 and 6500 series printers that HP manufactured after 2011 results in an error message. HP stamps manufacturing dates on its ink cartridges, so users can check if their cartridges are older or updated versions. Any 564 black ink cartridges that HP manufactured before September 2010 are older, incompatible versions. If users receive the error message about an incompatible, older black ink cartridge, the only solution is to get a new updated 564 black ink cartridge.
