My HP 6110 three in one printer continuously displays a message to align cartridges. I have replace both cartridges but message persists.
How do I fix this?
Here's the deal with the cartridge alignment page....the machine will spit out a series of black lines mixed with yellow ink and at the beginning of each of these lines is a "Green" check mark. The carriage moves back and forth over these lines and green check marks and reads them by use of what is called a "spot sensor" that resides on the right side of the carriage assembly. This is usually noticed by the blue ray of light that shines out of it. So if you are getting an alignment failure one of two things is happening....1)You've have got a bad cartridge (usually the color) and it is not laying down the right colors, specifically the green check mark or 2)You've got a bad spot sensor...even though it may still be shining the blue light, the sensor board can't process the information. Its an easy fix either way.

I just got an HP6110 printer (used) from a friend. I cleared the align error message by hitting ENTER and MENU at the same time. I no longer have the message, but my color cartridge doesn't print all the colors. Black works great. I guess I'll try a new color cartridge and see if that works.
