Solutions to Fix HP Printer Alignment Failed Error
Check the Ink Levels
The low ink level can be one of the main causes of the HP alignment failure error. That’s why it is suggested to use only genuine cartridges because they provide a sufficient level of ink and help you get the level estimation with the HP Smart app.
Clean the Dirty Printhead
Another reason for alignment failure is your HP printer’s dirty printhead which should be cleaned appropriately. Otherwise, it would be challenging for you to gain excellent printing quality.
In order to clean the printhead, take a dry cloth, warm water, some paper towels, and a spare plastic container to ensure that nozzles and the printer are dust-free.
After successfully cleaning your dirty printhead, you can remove the cartridges from the printer and let them rest for at least 10 to 20 minutes. If there is any ink available on the sides of the printhead, you can clean that area as well, and after that, you can restart your device again to ensure that the HP printer is working fine.
