Have issues with your printer printing the wrong colors? In this guide, let's go over exactly what to do to fix incorrect color issues.

Ensure cartridges are installed correctly and compatible with the printer model. If issues persist, perform a color calibration or alignment via printer settings. Regularly clean printheads and avoid prolonged inactivity to.
This means both the printer driver and the application or your OS is managing the color profile the printer is using. This causes the colors to be off. I have a feeling this is your problem.
