The cartridsge printe red and blue fine. No yellow

Try printing a test page, which shows a sample of the colors in the ink cartridge individually, usually yellow, cyan and red. It may be that the blue ink is getting low. You did not say whether you were printing text (black) or photos (color).

replace the color image units with OEM cartridges

The magenta has run out (red).
Replace the HP 22 tri-color cartridge.
It probably has yellow and cyan (blue) left in it, and the black is most likely working as well, but if any of the 3 colors in the tricolor cartridge run out, the whole cartridge must be replaced.
For instance, if I printed my vacation photos and there was a lot of water and blue sky in all of them, the cyan might run out long before the cartridge life expectancy.
Also, don't forget that cartridges are rated in pages printed at 5% coverage.
Since a photo is about 25% of a full page, a photo printed at full bleed (edge to edge) will only yield 32 4 X 6 inch photos from a cartridge rated at 160 pages (5X expected coverage = 1/5 the prints)

I'm assuming that the colour cartridge is a three in one. Blue, Yellow and Magenta.

When printing a colour document, the printer automatically balances colour mixtures from the three primary colours listed above. Should a print out be too red, its probably because its run out of yellow and/blue.

The best way to check is to print out a test page, you should get a block for each of the colours and black. If one's missing, there's your answer.

This is kind of hard to diagnose with just what you list. However there are a few things you can do to test it further.
What I usually do is open up Microsoft paint (start-all programs-accessories- the click on paint)
Then make a small box and print the 3 primary colors plus black (red, blue, yellow) see if all three colors print. My guess is only one will print (blue) if this is the case then the ink cartridge is most likely dried up or defective. Also if you have not printed something in a very long time this can also cause the cartridge to dry up. Again this is based on a guess that I think your cartridge might be dried up. However it can be a number of other items.
Also some printers have there own test pages you can run that can also tell you what colors are working and what colors are not.
Thanks again
Hope this helps you out a little bit.

Try printing a test page. If it comes out missing colors, the you color cartridge is bad. HP test pages will print each of the 3 colors by them selves, so you can see if you are getting all colors. If this prints ok, the I would think it is not a printer problem.

Probably bad, there's actually no way to check ink levels.

replaced ink cartridges..error message appears now telling me to re align printer..can you tell me how to do this

the printer cartridges have the ink Blue (light blue), red (pink) and yellow (lime).I think your printer printing fine do not worry all the printer have same ink........If you have the problem with color on print outs :you this link ::

You did the right thing. Sometimes a bad printhead or a bad cartridge will cause a leak and will damage both. Good job!
