Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

If your HP Smart Tank Pro 651's printhead is not moving to the center, follow these troubleshooting steps to resolve the issue:

Reset the Printer: Resetting the printer can often resolve minor errors.

• Turn off the printer by pressing the power button.
• Unplug the power cord from the power source and wait for at least 60 seconds.
• Reconnect the power cord to a wall outlet and reconnect it to the printer.
• Turn on the printer and check if the issue persists.

Check for Obstructions: Ensure there are no objects blocking the printhead's movement path.

• Open the printer's front door and printhead access door.
• Manually check for and remove any obstructions such as bits of paper or foreign objects within the printhead area.
• Close the doors tightly after verification.

Ensure Proper Installation: Verify that the printhead and cartridges are installed correctly.

• Open the front door and printhead access door.
• Press the side of the printhead cover to release and check for proper seating of the printhead.
• Ensure the cartridges are clicked into place.
