Product: Deskjet 3050

I own a HP deskjet 3050 and recently bought new ink (HP 61).  When printing the alignment page, the page shows 4 lines of light blue markings and a red triangle with an exclamation point in it.  The printer will not accept the alignment page.  Is this just faulty ink?  I turned on/off several times, reloaded the ink and printed the alignment sheet several times to no avail.  Also the words IMPORTANT are printing next to the red triangle.

I have already tried this several times, including cleaning the cartridges and the printer. My alignment page still will not print correctly. What other options do I have?
