HP 932 printer matching color to monitor

I replaced the color cartridge and the color balance is off. It leans towards green and the cooler/warmer only adjusts either the red or the blue. What I really need are separate RGB levels. Is there any program for printers to override the HP settings? I'm not talking about re-adjusting each and every image I want ...

I replaced the color cartridge and the color balance is off. It leans towards green and the "cooler/warmer" only adjusts either the red or the blue. What I really need are separate RGB levels. Is there any program for printers to override the HP settings? I'm not talking about re-adjusting each and every image I want printed either as you would find in a photo editor program. I'm talking about matching the monitor to the printout.
 
I looked under color management and the icm files don't tell you the RGB ratios.

Have you tried printing the HP printer calibration sheet? Have you calibrated it according to the printout?

Yes
ther heads are not out of alignment nor are they dirty, it's a re-manufactured cartridge. It leans towards the green side as in white balance for a video camera being off.
 
 
PS: I love your signature!!!!

Well, this is a totally biased response, but I used to work for an HP-Authorized service center, and we always recommended the use of HP cartridges, not the remans or refills. Have you used these cartridges before? I would assume that the quality of the ink could vary significantly, but I could be wrong.
 

 
Thanks for the note about the sig..

Yes on the bias, but no on the cartridges. I know that the cartridge IS the problem, but other than throwing it out (I have 2 of them), I want to try to correct it electronically by adjusting the CMY levels. I would say RGB, but this is a printer issue, not monitor.
I need to edit a icm profile, but have no idea how to do it. There must be a program to do so, other than another image editing program that I don't want or need. I use Thumbs Plus.
 
This all came about trying to print a web page color sample of a toilet! Yes, toilet, needless to say the print came out crappy!
 
(Couldn't resist that one...............sorry!)
