PIXMA G7020 faded printing

I have a Canon Pixma G7020 - Dell laptop windows 11. I was getting faded printing, so I added all the 4 inks and filled all the 4 containers.  I tried printing again, but it printed half a page with dark ink but the other half page was very faded. I tried to do cleaning maintenance bit it failed during the process with error 5200. I managed to shut the printer, unplugged it and started after 10 minutes. Tried printing again and it barely prints anything. I also did nozzle check, print alignment but nothing helps. I don't have any options left. Please suggest what I should do.

What did the nozzle check look like?  Did the pattern show missing lines or weak color?

I just did another nozzle check. all it did was print a yellow box and a blue box - rest of the page was blank. Paper ejected quickly after that - earlier I did it printed quite a few boxes and paper went back and forth before ejecting.

Run a deep cleaning it may need to be done twice. After that run a second nozzle check. If still not correct then run an ink flush.
