Hp 450 C Black Cartridge Alignment
The HP450C is no longer printing correct horizontal lines. The test page is printed and confirms by the darkened ovals perimeter that it is not aligned properly. I color r in the correct ovals, reinsert into the machine where it is read. Next a Media Error light occurs. I have changed cartridges, used thicker paper, to no avail. I printed the Service Configuration Plot and it says there are 75 errors and the last item on the sheet is the X-AXIS Calibration information.
