Microsoft Windows 7 (64-bit)

my HP OfficeJet Pro 6970 does not print blue.   color comes out pinkish.   Ran Devise reports<Print Diagnostic Report and CYAN does not print.    Replaced all instant cartridges about 2 weeks ago.   Could it be a bad cartridge or printer problem?

You already replaced the inks so it means the problem is your printer printhead (the one that carries the inks and moves from left to right). It's no longer absorbing other ink colors.
