**** Update 1/29/2013 **** I was able to use an exacto knife to carefully pry the HP02 chip on my old, empty cartridge and the HP363 chip from the new, full cartridge. I then attach the HP02 to the new cartridge and my printer recognized the cartridge now.
So if you accidentally bought HP363 print cartridges instead of HP02 (or vice versa), you can use this solution.
**** Update ***** 1/21/2013: I contacted the company, Ink Squid, and they replied immediate to my concerns. They provided me with some additional instructions to try to fix the problem. While it still didn't work, I have to give them kudos for trying. In any case, the next steps is for them to process a refund.
The cartridges from Ink Squid are well made and fit fine in the printer. But for whatever reason, the printer detects that these are not HP cartridges and don't give the option to continue.
I bought (4) Red and (4) Blue cartridges for my HP Photosmart C7280 printer. The price looked very attractive so I gave into the "cheap" temptation. I looked at the product description (see below)and it clearly states that the cartridges are fully compatible. I replaced the old HP cartridges as soon as the package arrived (by the way the company Ink Squid is from the UK. The printer immediately detected the new cartridges and indicated that these are the wrong types. I will try to return them but don't know if it is worth the troubles.
