I have had a reliable experience with my G4200 printer until recently, when it started to skip entire lines of text when printing.
I have tried several approaches to fix this issue:
nozzle check (black is missing the middle portion)
cleaning and deep cleaning
head alignment
cleaned the encoder strip
roller cleaning
bottom cleaning
system cleaning
Nothing seems to work. Please help. Thank you!

Thanks, the timing strip is the same as the encoder strip, which I cleaned. What is the fix for a faulty print head?

Greetings,
This is a ink delivery issue. The timing strip would apply if there were ghosting, or mis-aligned characters. The complete absence of ink and confirmation that no black exists on the nozzle test pattern indicates a delivery issue.
