If you have a monochrome option, I would use that.
I'm guessing that your old black and white photo's (which I'm thinking you scanned in may have a sepia tinge which the printer is emphasizing, and if you only want black/white prints, no need to print with colour.

Be sure you removed cartridge protection tape before installing cartridges.

It could be a few different things but letys try the easiest first. Go into control pane/jprinters/ and do a deep nozzel cleaning. leave the printer idle for about a hour or two before trying to print again. You may have to repleat this procedure. If this does not fix your problem it could mean that you need to update a driver for your printer or that you have changed your colour settings in a graphic program such as adobe. Failing all else you may just need brand new cartridges. I have a canon i860 and found a very inexpensive site online to order the cartridges for a few dollars each. even if you don't need the cartridges right now check out the site and stock up.
