Hi @proskopos,
Welcome to the HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
I see that you are facing an issue with one of the colors missing while using your printer.
A) Please follow the steps below to perform a power drain.
1) Take out the cartridges
2) Unplug the power cord from the printer & wall.
3) Press and hold the power button down for 15 seconds and release the power button, wait for about 30 seconds.
4) Plug the power cord back into the printer and wall, ensure the printer is plugged into the wall & not into a surge protector.
5) Insert the cartridges back into the printer.
Remove the cartridges > Unplug the power cord > Wait for 30 seconds > Plug the power cord back in > Insert the cartridges
B) Kindly refer to the steps on this link to update the printer firmware and let me know if that resolves the issue.
C) If the issue still persists, refer to the steps on this link to further troubleshoot.

Have followed your directions and directions in the link twice if I hadn't already tried them in previous attempts(the main steps described below I repeated regardless of previous days attempts). 1st pic is quality print report immediately after cartridge removal and shutdown. 2nd pic is after a cleaning. 3rd is after 2nd tier cleaning. 4th pic is after 3rd tier cleaning. Last photo is after a 3rd cartridge removal and shut down.
