PIXMA G2020 won't print blue, although window says it is 2/3 full

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.
