• Error message - head alignment failed

  My printer does not print not in 'black '.  The other colors work properly.  I installed a new black print cartridge and then tried to clean the print heads and finally by aligning the print heads.  I get the error message on the printer console screen that 'print alignment failed '.  I downloaded the HP hardware diagnostic tool and it could not solve the problem.  Certainly, the problem is with my hardware of the printer that I can't even use the "copy" in black.  He's spitting just a blank page when you try to copy something.  Any suggestions?

  @recooke - thanks for the response. I look forward to hearing your comments when you get a chance to work on the printer. The community has indicated how the question turns once you get an opportunity of but the troubleshooting in the action steps.

• All-in-one HP Photosmart C309a "Alignment failed" error message even after cleaning the print heads, etc.

  About 3 weeks ago before making the error msg above, a large black ink blob appeared on my printed piece of paper.  This product for several sheets later, but kept decreasing in amount.  I continued to print & finally all traces of ink have disappeared.  2 days ago I got a msg of error on "load plain white paper. ", but the paper tray was plain white paper in it.  I have removed the paper, straightened and her successor. As a result, the msg "Alignment failed" appeared.  I went through all the steps HP online information on the treatment of the "alignment failed", including the cleaning of the printheads (the right amount of ink was on it), check the vents of cartridge, etc.  My question is: if I have 4 out of colored inks and a new black ink installed, the alignment is being affected by the old cartridges?  A msg on this appeared on the Control Panel, giving the opportunity to proceed with the old cartridges or install new ones, but be careful that it "cannot allow completion of...» "If 'old' were replaced not.  I need to replace these color cartridges or is it probably another problem, which is print head damaged?

  Checked the evacuation & there is no problem, so I tried the informal solution to put the printhead in hot water.  A ran 1 cleaning via / configuration on the printer and finally aligned with success tools.  I waited a while to respond because I wanted to see if the printer should continue to work, and there!

  Thank you very much.  I'm happy that I can keep this printer!

• OfficeJet Pro 8500 a Premium: alignment failed

  Stupidly, I pulled the plug on this printer at the wrong time. But then it was still does, just print with a blue ride, then no blue at all. I replaced the cartridge Cyan (HP brand), but still no blue.

  Then the printer started aligning each impression (perhaps each color printing - I don't know). I replaced the Cyan/Magenta Printhead. That seemed to go well, and report the print quality seems good. But it aligns and aligns - impressions color - then gives the message "alignment failed. Refer to the documentation for the device for more details. »

• Office Jet Pro 8500: alignment fails

  I tried to reset the printer, but it always comes up with message alignment failed.  Whenever I try to print it starts the alignment process, although she finished the satisfactory print job.  Outside the aspec your time, it wastes a lot of ink.

  Hi Alwyn,

  When you reply to a post there is an option to attached below your text window.  You can scan the alignment and save it to your hard drive, and then look where you saved to attach to your message.

  However, I don't really see it.

  I think that the error you get told you that a print head is missing.

  I don't know how to stop the error from happening than to clean the printhead step 5 in this document:

  http://support.HP.com/us-en/product/HP-OfficeJet-Pro-8500A-e-all-in-one-printer-series---A910/4083864/document/c04855186/

  If that doesn't correct not alignment does not error, you can check if your printer has a replaceable print head.  Step 6 in the document.

• Deskjet 3052 alignment failed

  I just installed a new black cartridge on my Deskjet 3052 a. The printer prints the alignment page. I put the alignment on the scanner (right front corner) page and press 'OK '. The printer has worked for a few seconds and then gave me a message that does not have alignment and cartridges have been created for the default settings. Now, whenever I try to print something, I have a message that says that I would get better if I aligned the cartridges. What happened, and what can I do about it?

  Thank you.

  The alignment can fail for several reasons, including black or cyan print does not correctly.  The document here can help solve the alignment failure message.

  I did all three levels of print heads clean... Despite them being new...

  It will print things very well, but I get a monotube color alignment page after each draw with message of misalignment.

  Hey @ataktos,

  Welcome to the HP forums! I hope you enjoy your stay here.

  I see that your Officejet 8500 W gives you alignment failure messages. I can help with that.

  I found a document that can help you with troubleshooting. The document was intended for a slightly different question, but the diagnosis is the same. You can find it by clicking on this link.

  If this still does not resolve your problem, then we can try a factory reset the printer. I will send you a private message on how to reset the printer shortly. If you still have problems after that then the printer will have to be replaced. You can contact the HP Support by clicking this link. If you scroll down on the next page and fill out the form you will find the telephone number of HP.

• All-in-one HP Deskjet 2512: all-in-one deskjet HP 2512 / "alignment failed".

  I installed a new HP ink cartridges (61XL) in my all-in-one printer of 2512.  When I try to do the alignment (several times), I get the message on the screen of "alignment failed".  Printed, but not correctly.  Does anyone have a solution?

  Thanks RnRMusicMan.  Received the email and am now waiting on a phone call from Michael (HP rep).

• not printed; print head alignment failed

  I bought a printer HP 6700 Premium last summer (2012) and made a montage for use by WiFi connection to my laptop Dell Inspiron 1700.  The printer worked fine for 2 months, he was used before packing away until may 2013.

  To start using again once I got an error message regarding the Set up ink cartridges.  Assuming that the cartridges were parched of non-use, I have bought/installed HP 933 XL (color) and 933XL (black) ink cartridges.  All indications from the printer indicates that the cartridges are installed correctly, and that all are new/full shells.

  The printer continues to not print under the orders of the normal print or with orders queue on the printer for reports such as the 'printer status', 'Print quality', etc.  I also asked 3 times the printer functions "align the print heads", with a message of continuation of the print head alignment failed.  Show based on the "clean printhead" printer (twice) also failed to solve the problem.  When producing a page using above mentioned orders, the paper emerges with images very low (and widely dispersed).

  I'm not a person technically the inclined and would be very grateful if anyone could advise on the potential problems noted, and suggestions for the resolution of it.  Thanks in advance for your response (s).

  Hi Plapen,

  Can you double check your black ink cartridge.  What is a 932 instead of 933 cartridge?

  If it's a 932, can your try to clean the cartridges 2 times more?  Are there changes?  If this does not help, take a look at the following link and try all measures not yet taken.  Click here  Let me know how it goes.

• C310 HP All in One: black cartridge won't print; Alignment failed

  Printer works perfectly, as usual.  Rec'd notice to update the drivers of HP software; has done, and suddenly black ink does not print at all.  Done all the troubleshooting steps: test page printed. print the Diagnostics page.  Align the print cartridges.  Cleaned print heads.  Although the cartridge has shown the more partial estimated ink level, replaced by the new HP black ink cartridge.  Still not printing black ink.

  Print uninstalled and reinstalled the software.  Tried everything above.  Has released a new cartridge and replaced with previous.  Also been clarified vents on both cartridges.  It is not that black ink is smudged on striated, it's as if there is no cartridge at all.  I also checked to make sure that the printer is not set to print grayscale.  It is located in the color and Normal.  Changed for the better, still nothing.

  HP Print and Scan Doctor initially show all correct.  The device status is now red X: Make sure cartridges and printheads are correct or your printer.  All are genuine HP cartridges.  Now I get a message on the printer alignment failed.  Is it possible that this is related to the update printer drivers?  I have never had a printer HP fail before.  Have at least six of them.  I do not use the printer a lot it should be worn.  In addition, it printed fine until what I've updated the drivers.

  Advice on what to try next? Thank you.

  Hello

  The only troubleshooting steps to run is clean print head.

  Make sure that you perform print head cleaning for at least 3 times.

  If the problem persists, then the print head must be replaced.

  You need to call HP Technical Support to get help to get the printhead replaced.

  If you are in the United States, the toll free # is 1-800-474-6836.

  If you're not in the United States, and then connect to www.hp.com , bottom left it is an icon of the world map, click it and then select the region that you belong to, which would then provide the support options for you for this region.

• "Delayed write failed" message keeps appearing to external hard drive (WD passport) and problems with suggest fix kb908673 (register edit).

  I had problems with my WD usb hard drive, where a "delayed write failed" message keeps appearing when the transfer of files to or from it. Among the fixes suggested on the WD support site is a link to kb908673, and this seems to sum up my problem. This fix is included in sp3, I believe, however, the fix indicates that a manual registry editing needs to be done;

  "After you install this hotfix, the following registry subkey is automatically added and configured:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\USB\EnSoftRetry

  The registry key is configured with a DWORD value of 1. This value allows the Soft-Retry code path that is used in this hotfix.

  "If you install a later version of the patch (a patch that contains later versions of Usbport.sys and Usbehci.sys), including Windows XP SP3, this registry value not be automatically added and configured. The registry value must be manually added and configured as described above to activate the Soft-Retry code path that is provided in this hotfix. »

  I don't have this registry subkey and have no idea how to do to configure a key to have a DWORD value - I can create as a registry entry DWORD value in this key, but it must be given a name. Should I create a DWORD value called "EnSoftRetry" in the USB, or should I create a DWORD value in the EnSoftRetry key and, if so, what should it be called? Or am I completely misunderstanding something here?

• HP Officejet 6500 ink cartridge 920, Vista - alignment failed, black ink does not print

  I went through the diagnostic process because my printer gives me a view of alignment failed and my black ink will not print.   It is established that I need to replace the print head.  Is it complicated?  What should I do when I need the printer/fax every day?  I have no time for that computer to be down for a day, and even less for as long as it takes to get the part here and replace it myself.  Or worse, if I send to HP to have the work done.

  Replacement of the print head is not complicated, it can be done in 5 minutes.  Before doing this, you could be sure that the ventilation openings are not connected and you might try to soak the printhead as shown here.
