HP Officejet 5110 does weird things

[Bart Bervoets]

I have 3 with the same fault, the printer asks to align cartridges, i press
start, the printer makes a sound
as if it's printing but no paper is loaded.
The motor works as paper is loaded when the machine is turned on.
What can cause a fault like this?
Anyone who has a service manual?

As to answer my own question, stripped gears inside the service station, on
all 3 and on all printers i had for parts.
Seems HP did it again, one weak part to screw the customers.
Better avoid HP.
Anyone who knows where i can get those gears?
Preferred in europe.

Read here about your 5110:

Seems HP poorly designed the 5110. Some claim to have purchased parts,
some not. Good luck.

IIRC, you need to print a test sheet first and then SCAN it to align the
printhead.
