Good morning, I currently have a HP Officet Pro L7580 and just recently replaced the Cyan & Magneta ink cartridges.  Currently the black and yellow cartridges are the only ones that are printing.  I constantly receive the Alignment failed message and have gone through all nescessary steps that are recommended - have run the automated cleaning printheads several times and have had it recalibrated also.  None of this makes any difference...the printheads were replaced in November 2016.  I need suggestions as to what the problem maybe....could it be the printhead just needs replaced or is this another issue (sensor), etc??  Please help!

I understand that the alignment is failed, need not worry I'll be glad to assist you.

 

To provide you with an accurate solution, I'll need a few more details:

Are you using genuine HP ink cartridge?

What is the error on the printer if the cartridges are out of the printer?

 

However, I suggest you click on this link: https://hp.care/2JLrRQ9 and follow the steps in detail.

I was able to figure out that I needed to replace the printhead.  After I purchased a new printhead and replaced the old printhead with the new, the printer now works! Thanks.
