PIXMA MG2522 Inaccurate Prints

[Astron01]

There is something wrong with my MG2522 printer

 when I print out a document with its original color like this one, it comes looking like this. By the way, this picture was taken after I threw in the trash, given the piece of paper's crumpled appearance.

In addition to Danny's request for more information: 1.  did it just happen? 2. were there any changes to the computer like new or updated operating system? 3. what operating system? 4. did you run any diagnostics like nozzle check and head alignment?

Well, while I was printing, the pages with the blue layout came out red-ish

If colors look off the first thing to do is run a nozzle check.
