I installed new print heads on HP as color printing was non existant. They installed correclty, but now it wants me to align them, but when I do, it stops and says Paper Jam, please clear then press OK. The paper is not jammed, it has carried it into the roller ready to print, so I clear the paper out and pressing OK on the display takes multiple tries, it has not been registering it's been pressed lately. When I finally get OK to work, it then goes Alignment Cancelled, Press OK to continue. I press and press and press OK, have to press it many times before it registers and takes me back to home screen. Problem is, if I try to print anything now, it is a blank piece of paper. How do I get the print heads to align without it saying I have a paper jam? Paper is not jammed, it feeds it but then stops the program and says jammed.
