Most of these indoor pictures were taken with incandescent light and should be very warm in tone. Instead they all have a purple cast instead of the golden glow they display on the screen.
 
I have changed cartridges and even borrowed my daughter's 722C with no discernable difference, so the issue must be software? Right?
 
Isn't there some way to tweak the RGB values for these printers in XP Home?
 
Suggestions appreciated.
 
Thanks,
