Product: HP Photosmart 5512

I was making copies and it quit printing on them.  Just blank paper come out.  My cartridges were low so I replaced all of them, however it still will not print.  Just sends out blank paper.  The alignment page comes out with the word "IMPORTANT" on it, a triangle with an exclamation mark, and a curved arrow,  all in red.  It also has some alignment stuff at the top.  But when I scan this sheet, it says alignment failed.  I have also tried printing from my laptop, but it just sends out blank paper.

The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve your Photosmart 5512 printer not printing.  If going through all the steps in that document do not resolve the issue manually cleaning the printhead as shown in the post here may help.  Note the alignment will fail unless black is properly printing.
