Currently using hp4700 printer (but its been same with others) and all prints have a pink cast to them. This also applies whether its our inspiron 1501 or an emachines laptop. Flummoxed.
I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.

    Update, just inserted a card straight from the camera and the picture has a pink cast so we can eliminate driver program clash.

    All genuine HP inks and paper? It could also be that your monitor has a bluey cast, not a professional calibrated one, so the printer might actually be closer to 'true'?

    Head-cleaning? Is it separate CMYK cartridges? One or more running low? Just changed a cartridge & forgotten to peel some tape off or not quite clicked it in properly?

    It could be the printer profile, how it is programmed to see colours. Unfortunatly I have no idea how this can be changed in the hardware. I know you can get profiles to load into the software that adjusts the printer

    Matbe someone else can advise on that
