For some reason my printer isn't printing any of the colors correctly. I've replaced half-full cartridges with brand new ones from HP. I've tried cleaning the printer heads a dozen times but nothing I'm doing seems to fix the issue. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because throwing the printer into the trash has begun to cross my mind! Attached is an image of the last printer head cleaning report that printed showing how badly the colors are messed up!

Sorry for bringing bad news: your printhead is wasted; it's time for a new printer. You are only wasting time and ink and paper with this one.
There are some videos on YT on how to clean printheads, you can try those too but the results are questionable

That's what I figured but the problem is, I was under the impression that the print heads are built into the ink cartridges. Aren't they? Regardless, I found out about HP's new printer program, All-In, and have decided to give it at try. 🤞🏼 this doesn't come to bite me in the backside!
