Printer will not align, or clean printheads from HP smart app.
It is only printing in pink even though all tanks are full with correct HP ink.
Definitely lost Cyan first.
Very noisy when printing

Hi @coochie3,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I understand you are facing an issue with your Printing in Pink only, not aligned Smart Tank 7005. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
Let's perform a power drain:
- With the printer turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the printer and also unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
- Remove the USB cable, if present.
- Wait for 2-3 minutes, press and hold the power button on your printer for about 30 seconds to remove any additional charge.
- Now plug back the power cable straight to a wall outlet without any surge protector or an extension cord (This is important) and then plug back the power cord to the printer.
- Turn on the printer and wait till the warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle
