Hello @lshoran,
Thanks for showing your interest in the HP Forums! I see that you are having issues scanning the alignment. I would like to help.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a powered hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
If you are still having issues, please take a look at this document: 'Alignment Unsuccessful' Error Message Displays.
Are you using Genuine HP Cartridges?
