My nozzle check test page prints only black. I have done the cleaning and the deep cleaning multiple times. I replaced the maintenance cartridge today, did another deep cleaning and ran the ink flush. Still only prints black. All three color ink tubes are approximately three quarters full. I am using a laptop with Windows 11 and using a wireless connection to my printer. Help?

Did color ink flush, did any color show up in the nozzle check?
Check color ink levels
Run deep/nozzle check & head cleaning
Power cycle and reseat cartridges
Check for clogged/airlocked lines after flush

Thanks for the response.
1. My printer does not have cartridges - it has ink tanks. They are all showing as at least 3/4 full.
2. My print nozzle check shows only black - no colors at all. I have run the standard cleaning as well as the deep cleaning. Waited 24 hours and ran the deep cleaning again. Still no color printing on the nozzle check.
3. I have turned the printer off and back on multiple times. I have unplugged the printer as well. Again, my printer does not have cartridges, so cannot remove them.
4. I did the ink flush from the maintenance screen yesterday. Still no color printing on the nozzle check pattern - just black.
Other suggestions?
