Align printer fails.
Cleaned printhead.
All other cartridges are full.
Rebooted the printer about 8 times.
Any suggestions? I'm not a pro and this is the first time the printer has failed me.

Hi @rambocats,

 

Thanks for engaging in HP support Forums! This is a wonderful location to converse with the community, get assistance and find tips! As I understand you are having issues printing from your HP photosmart printer. Don't worry as I have a few suggestions which should help you resolve this issue.

 

Let's start off by performing a Hard reset on the printer and make sure that the printer is connected directly to the wall outlet and not to the surge protector.

 

Remove all the ink cartridges and then try to perform a hard reset on the printer.

With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.

Remove USB cable, if present.

Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.

Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord and then plug back the power cord to the printer.

Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

Now insert the ink cartridges and then try to print a test page and check if it works.

 

For more assistance, please follow the steps suggested in the support document for - Fixing Print Quality Problems for the HP Photosmart eStation All-in-One Printer Series (C510)

 

If the issue still persists, then the issue will be with the printer hardware. I would then suggest you to contact HP phone support to create a service for your printer. If the printer is out of warranty, you might be able to get some good upgrade options for the current printer.
