OK, I've got a different problem. The alignment will not turn off! It will give a partial alignment and then kick out the paper, with the message "press enter to align cartridges" etc. I need to either turn the alignment off or figure out a way to get it to complete the alignment so I can proceed to printing.

Yeah, it's the psc 2210 all in one. I just discovered how to turn off the pesky alignment message. Hold the setup button and then press "options". The message will go away and you are ready to print!

HELP!  I have a HP Photosmart Express.  When I changed an ink cartridge this last time, it went through the standard alignment process.  Fine, not a problem.  However, I usually turn off my printer when I'm not using it, or at least in shutting down for the day and now, every time I now turn the printer on to print something, it wants to go through the alignment process.  

So the alignment process has been done.  I turn the printer off.  I turn the printer on the next day to print something and it wants to print out another alignment before printing my document.

 

Any ideas??  

Thank you.

Same problem here... every time a shut down my computer or printer (designjet 130r) restarting it is a nightmare...

Aligning procedure is repeated every time by start-up so printing one single A4 page takes 3 extra pages and 15min extra of my time.

It's simple not doable.

How can I skip this procedure????

Please be aware that this forum is a peer to peer support forum, it is not a direct link to HP support.  

 

This forum is focused on consumer level products.  For the Designjet you may have better results posting in the HP Enterprise Designjet forum here (but be aware, it is also a peer to peer support forum).
