Further to this post, https://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Scanning-Faxing-Copying/How-to-stop-calibration/td-p/6435021

If my toner cartridges are low or empty would this cause the printer to "calibrate" at every power up? Could it successfully complete calibration if there is no color ink?

 

I have pretty much let my color cartridges run out or get low. Every time I turn on the printer it does calibration for a couple of minutes and then becomes ready to print. It then prints black just fine.

The printer cannot calibrate successfully if the cartridges are too low because the calibration procedure lays down blocks of color on the transfer belt that are used to check alignment of cartridges. On some models empty cartridges can also trigger a blue screen failure.
