I grasp that you are having an issue printing in color.  You printed a diagnostics page and the inks show approximately half full and print head health is OK.  When you tried to print each color individually only the yellow printed. 

Here is a link that I think will help with this difficulty:

HP Officejet Pro 8000 (A809a) and 8000 Wireless (A809n) Printers - Poor Print Quality Immediately after Setup, an Extended Idle Period, or after Printhead Replacement

Please let me know the results.
