Hi @blulagon,

 

Thank you for showing your interest in the HP Forums,

I'd like to help 🙂

 

As I understand you want to align your HP Photo smart printer. Don't worry as I have a few steps to help you get through this concern,

 

Let's try these steps here:

 

Perform a hard reset on the printer.

 

* 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 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 and then plug back the power cord to the printer.

* Turn on the printer and wait till warm-up period finishes and the printer is idle.

 

Alignment issues might occur when scanning or printing and an Alignment failed or Alignment Unsuccessful error message displays on the printer control panel.

 

Use these tips to help complete the alignment or remove the message.

  • Use clean white paper: Make sure the printer is loaded with unused, clean white paper, and then retry alignment.

  • Scan page if required: If your printer has a scanner, you might see instructions on the alignment page to place the page on the scanner bed and press Scan. Follow the instructions on the alignment page to complete the scan.

  • Choose 'Skip' to continue printing: If the 'Alignment Unsuccessful' message cannot be resolved, and you see a Skip button, you can choose to continue printing without alignment. Print quality might be affected.

If these tips do not resolve alignment issues, continue to the next step.
