Hello! My printer started printing these odd "colored lines" whenever I print colored characters/texts/images. Apparently it doesn't appear on black characters/text/images(black and white).A CISS was installed by the shop I bought it in. I want to identify what part of the printer causes this. Are there any DIY easy fix for this or should I bring it to printer shop?

Classic symptom of printhead blockage.

Open printer preferences, click the "Maintenance" tab.

Execute cleaning - - might need to execute deep cleaning if ordinary cleaning cycle doesn't clear it.

If neither cleaning cycle works, you'll have to remove the printhead from inside the printer (if it's user-removable) and soak it overnight in clean, warm soapy water.

Leave head to dry naturally (no artificial heat as it might distort the plastic) before putting it back.
