Hi @Boom4

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you

 

Printer goes through calibration process when turned on.

 

By maintenance do you mean does printer realign or perform printhead cleaning when you turn it on?

 

If yes,try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware 

 

And try re-aligning the printer-

  1. Load plain white paper in the input tray.

  2. From the printer control panel, open the Setup  menu.

  3. Open the Printer Maintenance or Tools menu.

  4. Touch Align Printhead.

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
