Prints come out orange?!?

Trying to print some photos on glossy paper but they come out very orange!

Print them on "normal" paper and the colours are fine.

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Cheers.

Have a look in the Print Properties and make sure you have set up the right paper to print on.

is the paper formulated for your brand of printer?

eg canon paper / canon printer?
a lot of effort goes into matching the photo paper to the inks in the carts, try using different manufacturers papers and while all will look the same you will get much different end results depenging on your printer..
all you can do is experiment, or fiddle with the printers colour settings!

Probably the ink or the tube for one of the colours ( the blue line ) might be blocked

Initialise/Charge the carts again and try printing a page with a bit of BLUE ONLY on it.

That will such *** stuff though if nothign else!!!
