Hi, I was wondering if anyone had a similar problem as this:

I recently pulled the CMOS battery in order to use expired print cartridges. However, when I set the date/time from the front panel, it is not remembered after a power save or power off operation. Also, alignment settings and color calibration are not remembered either. My non-volatile memory seems to have died. Has anyone else had a similar problem? I replaced the CMOS battery, and spent hours with a HP technician who was absolutely no help at all. I could live with the date/time problem, but not the alignment, since I use this printer for printing pics. Thanks in advance.

Did you use a fresh battery?

Is it in completely/ correctly (properly oriented)?

The battery was brand new. Reseated 3x's, just in case. No change. Thanks.

Just double check that there isn't a piece of plastic on the battery...or try another, you may have gotten a dud.

It does seem a bit odd, but it is looking like the battery isn't registering.
