  • Answer:

    Check out the color cartridge. It may be low or not printing well due to low usage.

There may be stray ink on the bottom of the printhead, run 5 blank sheets of paper through the printer, it should clean up any stray ink There are also kits you can buy, you run a special cleaning pad paper through the unit, that wipes excess ink buildup off the bottom of the prinhead/purge unit. I've always run blank sheets, seemed to work just as well
