HP Color LaserJet Pro MFP M283cdw

I just bought a MFC M283cdw from Costco.  It's an easy set up,  but when I tested color printing,  I found that the registration was off.  Some colors are almost a mm off.  

The help I got from HP was to use the menu to calibrate the color.   This function completed fast and had no effect at all.  

Has anyone else experienced this?

I am having the same problem with a brand new printer.

Had some success by (1) rebooting the printer, and (2) doing the Setup > System Setup > Print Quality > Color Calibration.  

We had tried that calibration command several times earlier, but it didn't appear to do anything.  After rebooting and trying again, the printer made some noise (a good sign!) and then the quality was much better.

Same issue here. Also from Costco but I'm sure that's irrelevant. It's not even consistent with the mis-alignment. I'm here for the answers!
