From Canon Help Files.

Automatic Print Head alignment failed
Possible causes are as follows:

A4 or Letter-sized paper is not loaded on the Auto Sheet Feeder.
Press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer to clear the error, then load one sheet of A4 or Letter-sized paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder.
Automatic print head alignment cannot be performed using paper from the Cassette. For automatic print head alignment, always load paper in the Auto Sheet Feeder.

Print Head nozzles are clogged.
Press the RESUME/CANCEL button on the printer to clear the error, and then print out the nozzle check pattern to examine the print head condition.

For information on how to print a nozzle check pattern, see "Printing the Nozzle Check Pattern."

The Paper Output Slot has been exposed to a strong light source preventing correct Print Head alignment.
Press the RESUME/CANCEL button to clear the error and move the printer to a darker location.
After carrying out the above measures, if the problem continues after aligning the Print Head again, press the RESUME/CANCEL button to clear the error, and then perform manual print head alignment. For details on manual print head alignment, see "Manual Print Head Alignment."

SOURCE: I keep getting this message

The print head is the carriage that holds the ink cartridges and has tiny nozzles on the bottom that spray the ink on your paper. The nozzles have to be aimed (aligned) either automatically, or in WinXP with the following manual process:

1 Left click on the start button
2 Open "Printers and faxes" on the Start menu.
3 Find your printer on the printer list and right click on it once.
4 Select "Properties" from the pop-up menu.
5 Click on the "Maintenance" tab at the top of the new window.

A selection page for all sorts of upkeep items is then shown. Manual alignment of the print head is one of the choices.

SOURCE: Colour printing

If the test patterns are not matching what your printer tells you is normal and your photos are banded horizontally, you may have clogged nozzles and printhead. Do a maintenace clean under your printers direction, and see if it now prints ok. Also, you may be low or out of one particular colour, but still have enough of the others and the printer will try to compensate by using available colours, hence colour banding and distortion. A manual clean with cotton buds and cleansing solution is recommended if the first clean does not help.

My best recommendation is to go to the HP support site online and try to use their troubleshooter to find the specific solution to this error. You can access the site for your printer by clicking here.
Sometimes it is necessary to reset the printer by unplugging it from the electrical and data cables for a few minutes and then powering it back on, to clear error messages of this sort, but there could be various causes of it's failure to align the heads.

I hope this information allows you to resolve this issue. If you need further assistance, please post back with a comment to this thread.

Wrong cartridge error code on canon pixma mp780 printer

This started out as error 5200. Now, my Canon MX340 printer isn't connecting to the computer. The computer acts like the printer hasn't been installed. I tried to remove the printhead and restart...

I just replaced the ink cartridge in my canon printer and tried to print something. A box came up saying the alignment may be off and I need to print an alignment page. How do I do that?
