Printing & scanning are too red, but printing document from PC is OK

[Buffin]

When I print a picture from my PC, the colours are excellent. But when I copy or scan, the result is too red.

(I suppose it's a software problem then?)

Welcome to the HP support community.

Clean the scanner glass and underside of the scanner lid with a soft, lint-free cloth sprayed with glass cleaner.

1. Turn the printer off, disconnect the power cord, and then lift the scanner lid.

2. Spray a soft lint-free cloth with glass cleaner.

      CAUTION: 

   To protect interior printer parts, do not spray cleaner directly on the glass or lid.

3. Wipe the main scanner glass, glass strip, and the white backing and automatic document feeder (ADF) strip under the lid until clean, dry, and streak-free.

4. 1. 

      White scanner lid backing

   2. White ADF scanner lid strip (if present)

   3. Glass ADF scanner strip (if present)

   4. Main scanner glass

5. If any debris remains stuck to any parts, use your fingernail to scrape it off, and then wipe the area again.

      CAUTION: 

   Do not use a hard or sharp tool that can scratch the printer parts.

6. Reconnect the power cord to the printer, and then try making a copy.

Thanks for replying. I tried your suggestion. It seems to be this one old document which prints with a rosy rather than an aged yellow hue, and I guess I'll just have to live with it.
