New Envy 5020 stuck on page alignment (and printing is not aligned correctly)

[JackLily]

What a frustrating product! Having been asked to print an alignment page, it then asks to scan this page. However after hearing the printer complete it's scan after maybe 20 seconds, the menu screen remains stuck on "scanning alignment page" even after 2 hours. Please help.

Hi @JackLily

Welcome to the HP Support Community. Apologies for the inconvenience. I'd be happy to assist you.

Let us try these steps:

Reset the printer

1. With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer.
2. Wait at least 60 seconds.
3. Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the printer.
4. Turn ON the printer, if it does not automatically turn on.
5. Wait until the printer is idle and silent before you proceed.

Note: HP recommends connecting the printer directly to a wall outlet rather than a surge protector or a power strip.
