colours not accurate when printed

[VicM28]

I'm finding the colours of my printer are not accurate. For example, my daughter drew a picture of Disney's Ariel (with the flaming red hair) and when I copied it on the printer the hair came out brown. I thought it might have been due to the cheap paper I was using so I upgraded to HP's own paper with ColorLok Technology and it was no different.

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

So I posted this yesterday and had emails last night to say I had two replies. However when I log in this morning it says I have no replies. What's going on??? Can't find any contact details for HP so trying the forum again...
