Hi @Hashu2Hashim, Welcome to HP Support Community. 

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you. 
If your HP Smart Tank 515 Wireless All-in-One is printing with a pink tint, despite adequate ink levels, try these troubleshooting steps:

Check Printhead Health

• Open HP Smart or HP Printer Assistant on your PC.
• Go to Printer Maintenance > Print Quality Tools.
• Run Clean Printhead and check if colors improve.

Print a Test Page

• Press and hold the Resume button (triangle icon) for 3 seconds to print a diagnostic page.
• Check if all colors print correctly. If cyan or yellow is missing, the output may appear pink.

Perform a Printhead Cleaning Manually

If automated cleaning doesn’t work:

• Turn off the printer.
• Open the printhead access door.
• Remove the printheads and gently clean the nozzles with a lint-free cloth and distilled water.
• Reinsert them and run the printhead cleaning utility again.

Check Ink Tubes for Blockages

• Lift the ink access cover and inspect ink flow in the tubes.
• If cyan is not reaching the printhead properly, it might need priming.
• Try performing an Ink System Flush from the HP Smart app or printer settings.

Update Printer Firmware

• Check for the latest firmware update via HP Support Website.
• Install updates to fix potential software issues.

Reset the Printer

• Unplug the printer from power for 5 minutes.
• Plug it back in and restart to reset internal settings.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
