Every time I change cartridge on my printer, it prints an alignment page. Is it possible to stop printing of alignment page as I have alignment page from previous change of cartridge? If yes, how?

Nope, an automatic alignment page is done every time ink cartridge is replaced, this can't be disabled. 

You can stop printing the alignment page by pressing the cancel button, but next time you turn your printer ON it will start to print the alignment page again and wait for the 2nd step alignment page scan.

So, it is HP's restriction & alignment page is printed mandatorily  after changing cartrige though one may have alignment page from previous change of cartrige. If possible, before printing alignment page,  system could ask if the page is to be printed.
