HP 2210 xi printing problem - alignment

HP 2210 xi - Continually getting align cartridge message and when I print one, it doesn't print the entire thing. I've tried changing cartridges, doesn't work. Actually when I put in a black cartridge it doesn't print at all. I've tried setup, cleaning ink 'nozzels', etc. Now it prints in double and the colors are washed out. Any other solutions or is my printer dead?

Anonymous Apr 10, 2008

after refilling my color cartrige, the alignment was only partially done. I tried twice more, the same thing happened. I had to hold down Setup and press Options and release to hold down Setup and press Options to BYPASS. But the colors with photo printing came out horrible though there is no problem with black printing.

Message: "Press Enter to align cartridges" When I do that it starts to do the alignment, then stops and repeats the message. It also won't print.

My thought is that one or both of your cartridges are no good. The printer will not print until it knows the alignment is good.

When i turn printer on it starts running as f printing then the message says align print cartridge

This is normal after cartridge change. It aligns itself by printing and reading. It has to complete this cycle or it keeps trying. If it asks permission, grant it.

You press Enter , but the error message does not go away ? You have to bypass the cartridge alignment -

Press and hold the Setup button.
Press the Options button. The printer should be ready to print.

Hp2210 message ''press enter to align cartridges'',

from user manual::
To align newly installed print cartridges
1. Make sure you have letter or A4 unused plain white paper loaded in the input tray.
The HP All-in-One prints a print cartridge alignment sheet.
NOTE: If you have colored paper loaded in the input tray when you align the print cartridges, the alignment will fail. Load unused plain white paper into the input tray, and then try the alignment again.
If the alignment fails again, you might have a defective sensor or print cartridge.
Contact HP Support. Go to www.hp.com/support. ....
2. Load the print cartridge alignment sheet print side down on the left front corner of the glass with the top of the page to the left.
3. Press the Scan button.
The HP All-in-One aligns the print cartridges. Recycle or discard the print cartridge alignment sheet
Score the solution and download the manual if you need it

Continually says align print cartridges

My guess is that the color cartridge is either defective or not inserted correctly. I have a 6110 and know that inserting a print cartridge is a little tricky. If it isn't completely inserted and the top latch fastened correctly, the cartridge either won't work or produce errors.

Try reseating the color cartridge so it's inserted in exactly the same way as the black cartridge and run a print job again.

Open the following web page and go to Step three to see the instructions for cleaning the electronic contacts on the cartridge and print carriage.

Ink Cartridge Alignment Fails

Those seem the most likely causes and solutions to me. Good luck.
