This is caused by color mixing between the cyan and yellow cartridges.  It might be possible to fix this by replacing the yellow cartridge, then running three cleaning cycles to clear out the contaminated ink from the printhead.  More likely the root cause is a damaged printhead, and the problem will reoccur unless the printhead is replaced.

The troubleshooting steps in the document here may help resolve the issue, see the "Colors quality, colors do not match" section.

Colors quality, colors do not match

Low ink levels, incorrect print settings, or a dirty printhead can cause color quality issues on printouts. To resolve this issue, replace any critically low ink cartridges, change the print settings, or clean the printhead.

Figure : Color not printing and poor color quality

Step 1: Check ink levels

Check the estimated ink levels either from the printer control panel or the printer software on your computer. If any ink cartridges are critically low on ink, replace the ink cartridge.

If these steps resolved the issue, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.

Step 2: Adjust the print settings

Adjust the print settings in Windows or OS X.

If these steps resolved the issue, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.

Step 3: Clean the printhead

Use the Clean Printhead tool from the printer control panel or the printer software to clean the printhead. Once the printer cleans the printhead, a test page prints.

The color blocks on the test page should be straight and solid, and any text should be clear and legible. If the print quality on the test page is unsatisfactory, perform a secondary cleaning of the printhead. If these steps resolved the issue, you do not need to continue troubleshooting.

• If your printer does not have a replaceable printhead and the steps in this section did not resolve the issue, skip to the last section in this document to find service for your printer.
• If your printer has a replaceable printhead and the steps in this section did not resolve the issue, continue to the next step.

Step 4: Replace the printhead

If you have completed all of the troubleshooting steps above and your printer is still producing poor print quality, replace the printhead.

 CAUTION:

Wait until you have a new printhead assembly available before removing the ink cartridges. HP recommends that you do not leave the ink cartridges outside the printer longer than 30 minutes. This could damage both the printer and the ink cartridges.

If you have a defective cartridge or printhead, it might be under warranty. To check the warranty on your ink or toner supplies, go tohp.com/go/learnaboutsupplies, select your country/region, and then review the limited warranty information for your supplies.

If HP replaces your printhead assembly under warranty, you receive a kit with a new printhead assembly, instructions, and a full set of cartridges. You must install the SETUP cartridges that comes with the new printhead, or a cartridge error might occur.

If your printhead assembly is no longer under warranty, you can purchase a new one online.

1. If you are in the United States, go to the HP Parts Store website (in English).
2. Under Find your part(s), type CR322A in the Search by part number text box.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions to order the printhead assembly.

If you are outside of the United States, go to HP How to Buy website to buy supplies.

Glad you resolved the issue, but you may need to keep an eye on things for a reoccurence.  If the issue was caused by a leak in the printhead it will likely reoccur.
