Pro 6830 e Cyan stopped printing

[Linda2950]

Out of the "blue" (pun intended!), Cyan stopped printing even though I had plenty of ink in the cartridge, and use this printer all the time. I've searched the HP Community and haven't found the right solution yet. Beyond that, I've done the following to no avail.

1. Cleaned the printhead 3 times
2. Performed a hard start of the printer
3. Used the copier feature to print a color copy 
4. Replaced the half-full Cyan cartridge with a brand new one

Still no Cyan color. 

Any suggestions for what to try next? I really like this printer and hate to give up on it. 

TYIA!

Linda2950,

My 6830 did exactly the same thing (i.e., stop printing cyan) at almost exactly the same time (Dec 2020).  Did any of the troubleshooting help?  It hasn't for me.
