Hi, I have a Canon Pixma ix6550 and it will not now print a proper black in the photo mode.

It used to print ok but now the blacks take on a blue tint and do not look at all like the previous ones. I found that if I print in 'normal' mode, it will give me prints that look like the old ones.

Can anybody help me get back to the good photo printing.

Further to this I have tried printing just a solid black box. It prints a nasty blue color. I have created one box in PS6 on a windows 8 machine and another on an XP with PS5 and they both produce the same nasty blue colour, I have changed printing heads, re-installed printer driver. If I do not use the photo print option but use standard printing, the black prints ok.

Please does anybody have any ideas as this is driving me bonkers.
