Hi @herlyn,

 

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

 

I understand you are trying to align your HP OfficeJet 5255 printer on Windows 10 (32-bit), follow these steps:

Load Paper: Make sure there is plain, white paper loaded in the input tray of your printer.
 

Access Printer Settings:

  • Open the Start menu and type "Printers & Scanners".
  • Click on "Printers & Scanners" from the search results.
  • Find your HP OfficeJet 5255 in the list and click on it.
  • Click "Manage".

Open HP Smart or Printer Software:

  • If you have the HP Smart app installed, open it. If not, you can use the HP Printer Assistant (also known as HP Solution Center).
  • In HP Smart, click on the printer icon to open the settings.
  • In the HP Printer Assistant, look for "Printer Services" or "Maintenance".

Start Alignment:

  • In HP Smart, click on "Print Quality Tools" and then select "Align Printheads".
  • In the HP Printer Assistant, look for "Align Printer" or "Align Printhead" in the "Printer Maintenance" section.

Follow Instructions:

  • Follow the on-screen instructions to print an alignment page.
  • Once printed, follow the prompts to scan the alignment page. This will calibrate the printheads to ensure optimal print quality.

Complete the Process:

  • After scanning, the printer will complete the alignment process. You may need to wait for a few minutes.
