I turned on/off the printer. I performed maintenance steps including the deep cleaning. I removed the print head to clean it with hot water and paper towel, but I got the same results.

sometimes those measures of ink levels are not very accurate. actually they're usually rather far off... try a new cartridge Usually the easiest solution.

This is a simple problem just reset your printer's color management settings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :-)

You can try this, but maybe a new print head is needed.
OK, Canon will hate me for posting this.
1. Remove ink cartridges
2. Remove print head
3. go to sink or tub (stainless steel, not plastic type), pick up a roll of paper towel on the way.
4. Fold several layers of paper towel and place on flat surface.
5. Run hot water until HOT!
6. Turn hot water back to a dribble.
7. Run the dribbling hot water through print head, be careful not to wet the gold contacts.
8.When water running through print head is clear, place print head on paper towel.
9. Repeat number 7 and 8 until no colour shows on paper towel.
10. Gently DAB print head (DO NOT WIPE) inside and out with dry paper towel until dry.
11. I normally replace print head after drying, but you may wish to let it air dry overnight.
12. Replace print head in printer and install cartridges
13. Start printing.
I do this to all 4 of my Canon printers every 6 months or so.
If any colour fails to print after this process it means your print head probably needs replacing.

I have successfully managed to clean the print head with isopropyl alcohol by placing a flexible plastic tube over the cartridge seat, filling the tube partially with the alcohol, then blowing very hard through the tube. The alcohol does not appear to harm anything.

I have the same problem. I turned off the printer, then selected "auto head alignment from the printer's maintenance menu and it worked!
Menu -> Maintenance/Settings -> Maintenance -> Auto Head Align
