I have gone thru several steps to fix an alignment failed message and my printer not printing.
at first I got the message I needed new ink cartridges.
bought as usual genuine hp replacement cartidges
after replacing the cartridges
I got the message the printhead needed to be cleaned. I ran the clean printhead several times and it kept failing. Followed the directions for taking the printhead out and manually cleaning it. Still failed to print.
Next step: bought a new HP genuine printhead.
Installed new printhead with my barely used ink cartridges.
errors message i needed new ink cartridges.
today I once again bought new ink cartridges and installed in my new printhead.
Still not printing, still getting the Alingment Failed message.
Not sure what my next step should be.
