Subject: [Leica] HP printing

Dear LUG,

Yesterday I went to pront a picture on my standard HP 7260 (photosmart) 
printer. I have down the months developed a set of settings for printing 
on Ilford Galerie Classic Pearl. This combination has worked fine in the 
past. I used the same (saved) settings that I had done before, but the 
print came out (light) sepia. Not unattractive you might think, but not 
exactly what I had in mind. It should print in greyscale only and the 
file has been fully (I hope) converted from an RGB TIFF to a greyscale TIFF

I have two possible explanations:

(i) In the past few weeks I have had a couple of updates downloaded to 
me by HP as part of their system upgrades.

(ii) I have bought from a supposedly reputable dealer non-standard (ie 
non HP) ink cartridges.

If it is the latter then I have got to lay the problem at my own door, 
but I was wondering anyone had received updates recently and suffered a 
similar problem without changing from HP ink.
