Printer was not used for over a year. I got new ink cartridges, and ran the alignment and cleaning processes. Alignment has been unsuccessful over 10 times. Cleaning process does not show Cyan. I have cleaned the printerhead, and restored printer to factory settings. unplugged. and it is still not printing Cyan.

Hi @Alextenten,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community. I'd be happy to assist you with the "color not printing" issue.

 

To better assist you - 

 

1) Does the black and white/ color copy work? 

2) 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 - Press and hold the Start Copy Color button.

 

While you respond to that, let's print a Print Quality Diagnostic page - Press and hold the Start Copy Color button 

 on the printer control panel for 3 seconds to print a Print Quality Diagnostic page.

 

Post the Print Quality Diagnostic page here so we can help you further.

Also, try updating the printer's firmware - HP Printers - Updating or Upgrading Printer Firmware 

 

Hope this helps! Keep me posted.
