Sometimes after installing new printer ink cartridges your printer will display

“Press Enter to align cartridges.”

But, no matter what you do you cannot get the message to go away. It won’t stop and worse yet, you can’t print. What to do?

Your printer needs to complete the ink cartridge alignment procedure before you can do any printing. If any of the color or black cartridges are missing, the printer won’t be able to complete its alignment. You can press a combination of keys (on your keyboard) to bypass the alignment, but the message will return later. The alignment needs to be completed.

Since all printers function a little differently we suggest you consult your printer’s user manual for more tips on aligning your ink cartridges. But . . . Make sure you have all of your cartridges in the printer before doing so. This will always be step number one!
