There is no mechanically alignment process, go to menu/setup,, services/tools,,,align print cartridge option..or.. go to system all programes,hp..model.. toolbox.. align cartridges..
Click Start and then go to Printers and Faxes (XP), Printers(Vista), Devices and Printers(Win 7)
1. Right Click on your printer Icon
2. Go to Printing Preferences
3. Click the Features Tab
4. At the bottom of the window you will see Printer Services or Device Services. Click on it.
5. Choose Align Printheads on the list.
Try Printing Again. I hope I was able to solve your problem. :)
The printer wants to align the print cartridge, if you print out the alignment sheet, and then following instruction, place on scanner and scan it in etc, and it fails to callibrate, I have found it is because some of the information on the calibration page is not being printed correctly so therefore machine cant calibrate the print heads from it, this is normally due to poor quality cartridges or failing/empty print cartridge or cartridges, these use two I think, and I bet one of the colours from the colour isn't printing properly, replace colour cart if blacks look good. Below is a link to HP so you can see what a alignment page needs to look like to pass calibration, compare yours and you may find a colour is dodgy on it.
You people are stupid! After the first person detailed the problem, why do you reiterate by saying "me too, me too"? People come here looking for answers, not more of the same. Here's a suggestion. If you don't have a solution, don't say anything!!!
I was having the alignment problem with the black cartridge. After changing the cartridge, try turning the printer off then back on after 5 minutes. It worked for me.
If the color cartridge doesn't print the color bars on the alignment page (either, redish pink, yellow or blue) then the alignment process will not finish. Same for the black. If the black cartridge is printing ok, then replace the color cartridge and try this again...
