Printer Specific Troubleshooting

HP CP1525nw (color printer)

Color Cartridge Alignment

If your printer is printing out a blurry or fuzzy image, the toner cartridges might be misaligned. This sometimes happens when toner is replaced or when cartridges are very low on toner. To fix the problem:

  1. On the printer, go to Menu -> Reports -> Print Quality and press OK to print a quality report
  2. Now go to Menu -> Reports -> Supplies Status and press OK to print a status page
  3. These two reports should align the printer cartridges
