HP Recommended
Product: OfficeJet 5212
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Using Genuine HP cartridges. Have tried all cleaning and alignment steps. Anything I print in photo quality (best) to photo paper (glossy) comes out way too saturated. All the colors are pumped up with the reds especially strong. I don't see anything funky in the Print Quality Diagnostic pages. Very frustrating. My old Brother inkjet would print things much closer to monitor output and you could manually adjust color levels with their driver.

 

This is in all applications.  Prints are SLIGHTLY less saturated if I print from Photoshop and let Photoshop manage the colors using the Adobe RGB ICC profile. Is there an ICC profile available for any of the 5200 series? Is there another ICC profile that would work that I could assign? This clearly seems to be color management problem somewhere in the driver. It's almost as if the gamma is shifting darker while saturation goes up.

 

I have also tried turning on/off HP Real Life Technologies. That seems to do nothing.
