MP250 alignment problem

[MommaV]

I went through all the steps to do an alignment because of the print quality. Still no solution and now the paper gets halfway through when trying to do manual alignment and can't get past it. The printer head, I think, started making a weird noise after the last ink replacement. I want to throw it out the window! Any suggestions?

Hi MommaV,

You stated that you are performing an alignment because of print quality.

Can you describe the print quality issue that you are experiencing?

I did an alignment several times. When the paper got stuck, I had to unplug then restart it. Once that got remedied then there was still shadowing happening. So I looked on Youtube.com and found that I needed to clean the area behind the ink cartridges. That helped.
