Hi @Steelep1 

You need to scan the page to complete alignment process.

Printer still keeps printing an alignment page every time I print something. I've finished the alignment process several times, I've turned it on and off again. I've tried the troubleshooting. Nothing works. And then when I tried to leave feedback to say the response was not helpful, that didn't work either.

Printer still keeps printing an alignment page every time I print something. I've finished the alignment process several times, I've turned it on and off again. I've tried the troubleshooting. I also downloaded new driver software.  Nothing works. HP support are not open during hours when I am home so I can't even contact them. If I don't get a proper answer I'll get another brand and never buy HP again. This is just a scam to make me use more ink so I have to buy more cartridges.

Hi fabio_L32,

 

All you did was post a link to somebody else's similar problem that had multiple different answers. What's the solution for my particular problem? I've already finished the alignment process, turned off & on, used the troubleshooter, updated the driver. The problem still keeps going on and wasting my ink. 

So what's the real solution? Is HP just trying to sell more cartridges?, in which case the real solution is to never deal with HP again.
