When I print a block of blue, there will be pink in the middle of it. Now I just tried printing a picture and I got blue lines/blocks throughout it. I use hp insta ink so they are genuine hp ink cartridges. I have gone through all the diagnostic procedures.  Any help would be appreciated.

@cnh3831, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I see you are getting horizontal lines while printing photos. 

  • Have you tried printing different types of documents like PDF, Word, or Webpages and check if the issue persists?
  • Try making a standalone color copy and check if that prints fine. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

Clean the printhead up to 2 times and print a quality report to check the result as shown in this document - Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
