Probably, the yellow ink jet was just clogged, a common problem if you don't use your printer regularly, particularly if you live in a dry climate like I do (desert Southwest US).  The manufacturer of my printer (Epson) recommended that I use the printer at least twice a week to keep the jets clear.  It didn't help.  The jets eventually became hopelessly clogged.  I even considered building a humidity control cabinet to keep the printer in.

I switched to laser printers.
