Does anyone else have yellow and blue only in the whole pic? Or pink and purple only? Why?

Hi ladyswan58,

Please let us know what prints out when you print a Nozzle Check:

1. Make sure that the power is turned on.

2. Load a sheet of A4 or Letter-sized plain paper in the Rear Tray.

3. Open the Paper Output Tray gently, and open the Output Tray Extension.

4. Print the nozzle check pattern.

(1) Press the (Maintenance) button repeatedly until A appears.

(2) Press the Black or Color button.

The nozzle check pattern will be printed.

The nozzle check should look like this:

Also, is the color cartridge a new cartridge? If not, roughly how many pages have you printed on the current cartridge?
