The Magenta on my printer doesn't print at all. Cleaned the cartridges 3 times still nothing, not even a hint of magenta color. Replaces cartridge as well.

@tcp25, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

I appreciate your efforts in trying to resolve this issue by performing the necessary troubleshooting steps.

 

Try making a standalone copy in color and check if it prints magenta. By this, we can conclude if this is a hardware or a driver issue.

Make sure you have tried the steps mentioned in this document to resolve this issue - Black or Color Ink Not Printing, Other Print Quality Issues

After cleaning, you may print a print quality report to check for magenta.

 

Update the printer firmware

If you have used 2 magenta ink cartridges and the issue persists, I'm afraid this is a hardware issue with the printer.

 

Please reach out to the HP Technical Support team in your region regarding the service options for your printer. 

You may create a case on the website to obtain a case number if required. Kindly watch this video to know how.

 

Keep me posted for any other assistance.
