My Canon Pixma G6000, bought 7/19/23, is not printing blue. I have done several print head cleanings and a couple deep cleanings. Ink windows look like they are all 2/3 full, although I have never had to change or refill the inks, which is rather amazing. Suggestions?

Did you run a nozzle check after the cleanings?

Yes, I did nozzle checks each time, and no blue. Just pink and yellow.

I would guess plugged or failed print head. Nothing to lose by trying one of the head cleaning methods on YouTube.

Thanks for the YouTube suggestion, John. I watched a video on flushing the nozzles. I hate to get inside the printer and mess with stuff, afraid I'd break something or not get it put back together correctly. The printer is barely under warranty, and I am scheduled to take it to Geek Squad this week to have them fix it. I think at no charge. Better than my trying it. However, that's an option. I didn't do the nozzle cleaning option in maintenance because it warned that it would take a lot of ink.
BTW, my printer is a Canon Pixma G2020. I didn't see a place to change that info.
