I've tried every thing to fix my printer. But this is all it will print. Any body know a fix?

Have you tried turning it off and back on again :)
 
Without knowing what the image should look like, it's difficult to tell from those images but if you haven't used the printer for a while, a nozzle clean up would be my advice.
 
The image should be the nozzle clean image and head adjustment image. Gone through the settings but this is it. Even turned off and on again! The ink cartridges are not blocked with dry ink.
 
Sometimes I have had to do a nozzle clean so many times the cartridge emptied. I then installed a CIS system, nozzles still need cleaning many times after lying idle but with a CIS, the cost is negligible. I have even had to do a full page photo print before the nozzles cleared.
 
Inkjet printers are unfortunately a massive rip off and always have been. Inks are overpriced too and some printers now are online to determine whether cartridges are genuine etc. Repair is frustrating and usually not economic, but try ‘rubbing alcohol’ or even vodka to clean the nozzles. With patience and persistence it works. Or buy a laser printer which are now competitive on price and although cartridges are more expensive as a set up cost but need changing rarely, they just go on and on. No probs even with twenty year old B/W Kyocera’s! (many thousands of pages printed later!)
