I have a HP C5580 Photosmart All-in-one printer that I'm having problems with after I replaced the ink cartridges. It started the alignment, but an error message came up the "Load plan white paper in Main Tray, the press OK to start alignment".  I replaced the paper and adjusted to make sure it fit correctly.

 

I got the same message.  I tried to use the instructions online for correcting the problem, but I can't get rid of the error message, it won't do anything.  I unplugged  from the back of the printer and the electric plug, but the error message comes back on and I can't change it. 

 

When it did try to print the alignment the black ink was the only thing that printer.  Please help me.  Thanks.
