This printer used to print pictures OK. Lately all the pictures come out too orange. Not horrible but way to orange compared to the originals. I have tried cleaning the print heads numerous times. I have aligned the print heads numerous times. I have changed the color ink cartridge. I have changed to HP photo paper. I have tried copying and scanning pictures and it's still orange. I have changed the program from which I print. No improvement. What can I do?
