Wow! That's really bad!

You may have been sold a duff printer.

You're only getting black and yellow because they are the only nozzles working, and even then they aren't great. You need to do some head cleans and print a few heavy images to try and get some ink through, but it doesn't look too good to me.

Are they refillable cartridges and have you left the rubber venting plugs open? The cartridges need to vent to the atmosphere otherwise the inks won't run freely through the ink lines.
