What do you do if it doesn’t stop in the center mine just goes left to right a couple times then back to the left

[@bek00l]

I've dealt with the same issues for a long time. When I grew frustrated enough, I went a bit 'savage' and found a solution:
1. Buy new printheads (or have some 99% Isopropyl Alcohol handy)
2. Turn off the printer.
3. Turn on the printer. (you can have the doors open at this point)
4. As the printhead carriage does its initial calibration lap, unplug the printer. The carriage will be movable, so move it gently, by hand, to the center spot (as shown in the video).
5. Replace the printhead (or just clean them with the alcohol - I replaced mine and 2 months later i had the same issues, so I just tried some alcohol on them - worked a treat).
6. Once everything is back inside the printer, close the doors, replug the printer. If you went the alcohol route, print a page with 'best' quality so that the ink gets flowing again.

Printer heads don't align automatically on all mentioned models.
