I'm having a very weird problem with my A516 and C5180 printers. Some
pinks or reds print out blue when printed directly from my XD card
(Fuji Z3 camera) or from my SD card (Pentax k100d or Pentax Optio S4).
The odd thing is that I get the same results on two seperate HP
printers from three different cameras. I have spent countless hours on
the phone wiht the trained robots in India but didn't get anywhre. At
one point I even got them to send me a new C5180 but I'm still getting
the same results. If you view the pictures on the little screen on the
printer it looks fine as does it on the computer or camera screen. To
complicate the matter, if I print the same picture from the PC using
Photoshop or any other app it prints fine. This is fine and dandy but
I bought a printer with the memory card slots for a reason. Has anyone
seen or heard of this problem? I searched and searched all over web
but can't seem to find anyone having the same problem. Also I want to
mention the I am using HP photo paper.

Hi,
This is just a brainstorming idea:
I've been researching some printers online because I'm going to buy one
soon. I noticed that the C5180 has automatic red eye correction for
photos. Do you think your printer could be mistakenly changing red to
blue thinking you've got some giant red eyes in your pictures? Maybe
there's a way to shut off the automatic red eye corrector in the
software and you can test to see if your pictures come out correctly.
