Can I solve the problems of alignment is to have my Color LaserJet CP1518ni? Red will not line up.

Can I solve the problems of alignment is to have my Color LaserJet CP1518ni?  Red do not line up, I installed the latest updates, etc.  Calibration does not help.  The printer is only a few years old.  What gives?

Hi threre, I just work on HP CP1518ni a client with this same alignment problem as most of you are describing. I went through some process and I think I found one that works... If all goes well it will work for

You too.

Things I tried before hand... also this machine has all the toners brand HP 90 + life on each of them.

-Calibrate - has not fixed the problem (tried once)

-reset the NVRAM - did not problem

-removed and inspected print cartrides (no problem found), re-installed - fixed no problem

The 'fix '...

First, go to the HP website and download the firmware, make sure you only select the right operating system

you are using. (for me it was Windows XP) Also the requirements of course read, I think you have to

have with XP SP2 if it perhaps questions, always read the instructions before doing the firmware.

Here is a quick link to the CP1518ni...

Then, assuming you have the appropriate printer driver installed, double-click the utility you just downloaded and select the CP1518ni from the drop-down list. Now, press the button 'send the firmware '. It will be

Take a few minutes so just let it do its thing. After that she did try to print something, for me it was NOT fixed.

Now you want to calibrate the device, maybe 2 or 3 times, on the control panel scroll to the right until

you see "systemsetup" press ok and scroll to the right again until you see 'print quality' and press ok.

the first item in this menu is press "calibrate color" ok, now he's going to say 'calibrate now' and press ok one

last time. It will start the calibration process. Then he did print something new to see how he does.

for me I had to do the calibration process twice before the quality was normal again.

Good luck, hope this helps some, I read that some printers still presist even after this process.
