HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e Wireless All-in-One Printer with 20 ppm, Smart Tasks, and Mobile Fax ALIGN-FAIL Error Fix: Printhead Alignment Failed

Error code ALIGN-FAIL on the HP OfficeJet Pro 8025e Wireless All-in-One Printer with 20 ppm, Smart Tasks, and Mobile Fax means: Printhead Alignment Failed. The automatic printhead alignment process could not complete — this calibration prints and scans a test pattern to calibrate print quality; ensure plain white paper is loaded (not glossy, colored, or recycled), ink levels are adequate in all cartridges, and the printhead nozzles are not clogged (run cleaning first); the alignment uses the built-in scanner to read the test pattern — a dirty scanner glass will cause alignment failure; retry after addressing these items
