@Vidhya17, Welcome to HP Support Community.
Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.
It sounds frustrating to deal with this issue. Here are a few steps you can try to resolve it:
Check the Ink Cartridges: Ensure that the cyan and yellow cartridges are properly installed and not empty or clogged. Sometimes, even new cartridges can be defective.
Clean the Printhead: Perform a manual printhead cleaning. This can often be more effective than the automated cleaning from the app. You can usually find this option in your printer's maintenance menu.
Printhead Alignment: Run a printhead alignment from your printer's settings. Misaligned printheads can cause color issues.
Firmware Update: Make sure your printer's firmware is up to date. Sometimes, software updates can fix bugs related to print quality.
Reset the Printer: Try resetting your printer to its factory settings. This can sometimes resolve persistent issues.
I hope this helps.
Take care and have a good day.
