Printer HP HSC 950 "Press to Align cartridges" loop - how to print?

Hello

I have a printer all-in-one from HP HSC 950 that always returns to the display of message "Press ENTER to align cartridges", even after a complete print alignment is performed and seems fine.   Beyond that, I can't print anything.   I lost a lot of ink and time trying to get past this message.  Can anyone help?

I encounter this error when the printer is plugged into a laptop running Windows XP, or when it is connected to a router that accepts printing from the computer i - mac OS 10.4.   The link below, you should get to the HP page with the product that I write on the subject.

Thanks in advance

The solution was to replace the color cartridge, as suggested in a previous post Bob Headrick.  Thank you, Bob!

  • 2175 printer, a message loop "press ENTER to align cartridges".

    My HP 2175 printer looping error message "press ENTER to align cartridges".  No matter how many times I press on enter the message always appears.  I have:

    1. turn the printer off and back 5 minutes

    2 reinstall the printer cartridges

    3. change the ink cartridges

    4. disconnected from my PC and reconnected

    5. printed by the PC but standalone will not work copy and message remains.

    6. I checked the ink cartridges to make sure that the tape has not been left on them.

    7. I checked for whether ensure that this number is in the housing appropriate (ie. 57 57 and 56 in 56/58 also used a 58 cartridge in the same location).

    I have reviewed the help pages in the troubleshooting pages and HP Solution Center and are no match for this problem.  Help, please

    P.S. I am using Windows XP with the latest software updates and Solution Center is the HP PSC 2170 series.

  • Error message "press ENTER to align cartridges".

    PSC 2210: After having installed the new cartridge, message "press ENTER to align cartridges" will not disappear. Said HP blog Setup and hold and press Options, which does not work. HP technical support will not answer me and only offers to sell me a new printer for $99.00

    Now I am answering my own question. HP site does not say that the Options buttons and Setup must be kept pressed at the same time not independently. Now it works. It's all the support Tech had to say instead of trying to sell me a new printer and they would not. Nor would they say even here is the answer, pay US $20.00.

  • Printer insists, to "align cartridges".

    Hello

    I have a HP Officejet 6500 E709a on an iMac OS X 10.6.8.  Everytime I turn on my printer, a message appears on the front of the screen of the printer, the "load paper - plain white paper in the main tray and press OK.»  Of course, I already have the paper loaded.  Once I press Ok, a message appears, "alignment cartridges... Please wait... this process will take about 7 minutes."  I'm not sure whether if I caused this or not.  One day, I decided to clean the printer heads myself BEFORE this error, because it's been a while since I had cleaned their.  Then, I loaded a black ink cartridge.  Too little time after, this error started.  I even tried to install new software driver for this printer several times subsequently.  Is there a way to fix this, or is it a permanent error?  I'm more covered by a warranty HP, so HP customer service may not be able to help me.  For the moment, to scan/fax, I just press the Cancel button continuously until the message goes.  However, I can print without having to clear this error here, and the quality of black ink is fine.

  • align cartridges HP psc 2175

    1 try to remove the ink cartridges.

    2. close the printer's front access door

    3. turn the printer off.

    4. disconnect the power cable on both ends of the printer

    5 wait about a minute or two.

    6 reconnect power cord then turn on printing.

    7 wait until you will be asked to insert the ink cartridge.

    8 insert the ink cartridge when you are prompted, and then follow the on-screen instructions.

    9. Insert plain white paper and follow the on-screen instructions. It should align the printer.

  • Change black cartridge in HP Officejet 4500 now get message "Incompatible cartridge". How can I fix it?

    Change black cartridge in HP Officejet 4500 now get message "Incompatible cartridge".  How can I fix it?

    This type of message may indicate that the printer is waiting for a cartridge with a control chip.  The cause is:

    (1) ink cartridge expired
    Re-filled ink cartridge 2) and the chip was not reset properly.
    (3) a not original HP cartridge.

    The main solution might be to change the cartridge again.

  • printer always blinks "align cartridge".

    I've never had a front probem with her

    Check the manual of your printer or the printer manufacturer's web site to see what this message means and how you can delete it.  Essentially, you will need to run the printer cartridge alignment task to clear the message.  How it depends on what type of printer you have.

  • Printer inkjet Epson Stylus C 45 refuses to recognize refilled ink cartridge. How to solve this problem?

    I have the printer inkjet Epson stylus C 45. When an ink cartridge Epson gets sold out and I replace this cartridge with an Epson cartridge refilled, the printer does not recognize this refill cartridge. As a result, no printing could be done. Is there a way to make the printer accepts the reloaded cartridges?

    Hi Pradip Kumar Bhattacharjee,

    You receive messages or error codes?

    It is a hardware problem. It seems that some printer settings must be modified to get the cartridge that is recognized by the printer.

  • I replaced the ink cartridges, but the printer still shows empty black cartridge. How can I reset?

    I have a HP Deskjet 3050 a - J611j all-in-one printer.  I use Mac OS 10.7 Lion.   I replaced the empty ink cartridges.  Now it shows the color cartridge is full, but still shows black cartridge empty.  Is it possible to reset it?

    Hi Shanmarie1103,

    If the cartridges are rebuilt you will not get a read out on the ink levels. You will need to use a new OEM cartridge with a new chip for the ink levels. Click on the links below for more information.
