Hi @yellow12345,

Welcome to The HP Support Community.  

Thank you for posting your query, I will be glad to help you.

I understand you are facing issues with cyan ink not printing can be frustrating, but there are several steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially fix the problem:

• Check Ink Levels: Ensure that the cyan ink cartridge has sufficient ink. Replace the cartridge if it is low or empty.
• Clean the Print Head: Sometimes, the print head can get clogged, especially if the printer hasn't been used for a while. Most printers have a cleaning utility that can be accessed through the printer's control panel or software on your computer. Run the print head cleaning utility a couple of times to see if it resolves the issue.
• Print a Test Page: Print a test page to see if the cyan color is printing at all. If it's completely absent, the issue is likely with the print head or the cartridge.
• Use Printer Maintenance Tools: Many printers come with maintenance tools or utilities that can diagnose and fix common printing issues. Check your printer's manual.
• Check Printer Settings: Make sure that the printer settings are configured correctly. Sometimes, settings like grayscale printing or color balance adjustments can affect how colors are printed.
• Inspect for Physical Damage: Check the cyan ink cartridge and the print head for any visible signs of damage or blockage. Clean any dust or debris carefully.
• Update Printer Driver: Ensure that your printer driver is up to date. Sometimes, outdated drivers can cause printing issues.
• Restart Printer: Try restarting your printer. This can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.

I hope this helps. 

Take care and have a good day.
