My OfficeJet 6978 is not printing anything from the magenta or yellow cartridges (yes, I have replaced them with brand new HP Ink) and any blue prints very pale with streaks! I don't print that often so cleaned the print heads a couple times, bought all new cartridges and still same!
What the heck is going on???

Hi @Avsfan22,
Welcome to the HP Support Community
I understand you are facing a print quality issue with your HP Officejet Pro 6978 printer. Not to worry I will help you to get a resolution to resolve the issue.
To assist better:
- Does the copy print out the same way?
- What's the application you are trying to print from? Have you tried printing from a different application or device?
While you respond to that, let's print a Print Quality Diagnostic page -Post the Print Quality Diagnostic page here so we can help you further.
You may also refer to this document with steps to fix the " Print Quality Issues" issue applicable to your printer - Print Quality Issues
Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware
Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
