I had similar problem

I got the info from Hp site:

I think you may have some damaged printhead in the printer because it makes the alignment page
Check the printheads are not damaged,

after this try the following steps

Use the following steps to align the printheads using the control panel:
Hold down the Power button.
Press the Resume button two times

Print a diagnostic page from the printer control panel
Press and hold the Power button.
Press the Cancel button once
Press the Resume button four times.
Release the Power button.

The above worked for me..The printer has stopped printing alignment sheets
