[cups] Printing Colours

[Andrew]

Thank you for the advice.
Another test I could apply is to form a simple image using the colours (simple lines) and see which is failing.
Best wishes.

If the printer is still trying to print with an empty cartridge, it may not know itself whether the ink is empty or not.

I would initiate a nozzle clean and do a nozzle test print. That should show the four base colors (CMYK) separately. It's probably cyan that's clogged/empty, based on what you described.
