I recently replaced the three color (cyan-magenta-yellow) cartridges in my Canon S750 inkjet printer. Now none of my color copying is coming out right. All the reds come out butterscotch-looking. I thought it might be a bum magenta cartridge or the nozzle might be malfunctioning, but the Canon color test shows the red working just fine.
I'm lost.

No reds when printing EXCEPT during nozzle tests

Does it do it with all types of printing? We had an epson 780 that printed color tests and gif images just fine but gave a blue tint (think Charlie and the Chocolate Factory) to all photos we printed out. It happened with Windows XP machines but not 98. It was a driver issue that never got fixed. You could adjust each image to get it to print right but you had to do it every time. I bought a new printer and gave that one to my mother in law who has a mac (no issues with OS 9 that we found).

Once I had a similar problem and it was just a loose connection. I checked , but not this time. So I bought a USB cable today to try a new way of connecting the printer.
I still have the same problem - the magenta cartridge doesn't get tapped at all - except when printing the nozzle test pattern. I tried printing through MSpaint, the viewer, cd labeling, and MS Picture It! All of the printouts are missing reds.
Any help?

That is indeed quite weird...
I'd look in the manual and do a "factory reset", make sure there is no calibration of any sort in the computer. Then I'd remove the printer driver and reinstall the printer driver AFTER you rebooted the PC.
