Print is coming either with lines or colors overlapping
Clean the head.
SOURCE: Color Printing Produces Pink Horizontal Lines
Hello we have had customers with this problem and this model printer We came upon this type of problem also exhibited the same lining when you did a nozzle check independant of the computer (not attached to computer and just using the internal head check print) This was a cartridge problem and after replacing the cartridge the problem stopped.
SOURCE: printer output has shadows, blurring, streaks, lines, poor color
Seem like blocked hole(s) on the color print head...
Most likely if there is a deep clean option then do it (may need a few times to unblock a hole or never).
Also get the printer physically cleaned up if you can see dusts inside (vrtical lines on color bars).

check the print cartridge contacts see if they are blocked. It may be a clogged print head.

Hi There You can try/
Summary
Usage of compatible ink and leave the printer idle too long may cause printhead clogging
What should you do if you get this problem. Relax; you may recover the printhead by unclogging it. Follow these steps to unclog the printhead
1. Right click in the printer driver name
2. Select Properties menu
3. Click Maintenance tab
4. Click on cleaning sign for regular cleaning. Perform this up to 3 times.
5. If this does not work, perform Deep Cleaning
And if that not work
Some times it needs a good clean up but this is up to you if you want to do this,
But after you done this prime the printer so it gets the inks back in the heads, it may take a little time for the inks to work.
Ok.
There is fluid cleaner for this but I can never find any in the shops the only ones I seen is when they sell them in Tesco but they come in with the ink refill bottles so I just use worm water by it self on a cloth and dabbing on the heads to clean them, it will not harm the heads but not to much water.
Some heads are on the inks them self but some have them inside the printer so I not know your printer so if the heads are inside you need to get them out you may find that some heads will just clip out put some need to be unscrewed so you got to know how they come out so be careful and not push to hard on them, if the heads are on the ink then it is a easy job to clean them,
It worth a try it worked for me more than ones.
Please all I ask is call back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one, so I will keep on helping.

You've 2 0r 3 problems here.
First NEVER use an air blower in a laser printer. You'll just blow toner deeper into the printer and could make things worse AND there's potential for damage due to static from the air blast. I've seen priners that were working OK, but had a leaking cartridge in them - 'cleaned' using an airline, and they never worked again !!
Problem 1 - weak magenta and yellow.
This will have started with the magenta being weak, become weaker, and later the yellow will have also started to deteriorate.
Dirty laser unit - needs (careful) cleaning internally.
See ' Printing Weak Magenta', 'Printing Light Magenta' for HP CM1015, HP Color Laserjet 1600, 2600, 2605.
All the same laser unit.
Problem 2 - Misalignment (Out of register) colours.
Registration of the colour cartridges, so that they can be used together to produce the colours in between the yellow, magenta and cyan of the cartridges themselves, takes place during 'calibration'.
If one of the sensors on the Transfer belt fails, the calibration seems to take for ever (and actually fails), giving rise to this colour offsett. The sensor is not available, and not replaceable, you'd have to change the Transfer Belt.
Your symptom 3 is related to the problem 1 above.
