Hi @NanaMaya,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Yes, you can reprint the alignment page on the HP OfficeJet 5255.

Load plain, unused white paper into the input tray.

On the printer control panel, touch Setup.

Select Tools.

Select Align Printer.

The printer will print a new alignment page.

If the printer asks you to scan the alignment page, place it print-side down on the scanner glass according to the guides and follow the prompts on the printer.

 

If the newly printed alignment page itself is faded, missing colors, streaked, or otherwise distorted, let us know what it looks like, as that may indicate a print-quality issue rather than an alignment problem.

 

You may refer to the following video for assistance.
