it suggests the "soak" pad on the bottom is full. This is a sponge pad that soaks up excess ink and once full the print head picks up the ink and you get odd colours. 
It is possible to soak up the ink with kitchen roll or similar (ideally you need to wear latex or rubber gloves or you will get ink on your fingers) or replace it.
If a really old printer then the spares ay not be available and noe is perhaps a good time to invest in a new printer.

A color or photo cartridge is either low, clogged or has run out of one of the basic colors it mixes together to create the colors in your images. The printer cannot print correctly if it lacks one of the basic colors, even if it still contains some of the other colors. The cartridge may also be clogged.
The cartridge must be replaced
