The printer has two ink-cartridges: black and tri-color.
The black cartridge has ink left.
The tri-color cartridge has run out of 2 of the 3 colours of ink.
Buy a replacement tri-color cartridge,
and responsibly recycle the "empty" cartridge.
I've had the Canon i9100 since 2003 and have excellent photo printing results. In 2009 it started playing up and I'd gt some banding. More recently, black didn't want to print. It was as though the black ink in the print head got dry some days.
April 2010 - The colours started printing strange and I bought a brand new print head and installed it. Only takes a minute. Still had an issue with photo printing. Black and white was excellent but colours weren't true.
Found advice online to try cleaning the print head to print head carrier electrical contacts by rubbing them with a rubber eraser.
I did that and now I'm getting perfect colour photo prints again.
I had been thinking about buying a new A3+ printer but this is old printer is now working as good as new.
It is probably a bad purge assembly, when it doesn't clean or prime the printhead properly you have the problems you are describing. There are 2 sections in the purge assembly, one cleans color and the other cleans the black. Sounds like the black pump is worn out. The part runs around $30.00

It may not be the case, but the nozzles are controlled by electronic signals and the common line for red may be defective.
If you cannot see any traces of red ink on the printhead surface and blotting (not WIPING) it with a hard paper towel produces little or no red on the paper, it is likely not getting any input from the control circuitry any more.
You can try GENTLY cleaning the electrical contacts (not the printing surface itself) on both the printhead and carriage with a cleaned pencil eraser or a Q-tip (look for lost fibers though)dampened with alcohol.
Unfortunately, if you can't restore it, the labor cost of having it repaired will probably be prohibitive.
