Do head cleaning. If your using Windows XP: click on start;control panel;printers and faxes; right click on the stylus photo 1290 icon and then left click on printing preferences.
Go to maintenance tab.Try to do 3 head cleanings. After head cleaning, try to print.If the picture is still bluish; go to printers and faxes; go to printing preferences; click on advanced button.
On the upper right part of the window you should see there color management, click on ICM and turn off, click on apply and ok.
try to print, if it is still the same, try to use another program to print your pictures.

Why are my prints only printing the reds and blues in photos?

Please next time put the question in the correct category. I still will try to help you.
If your printer does not tell you any cartridge is empty, and it still does not use that colour it could be the nozzles of one cartridge are blocked. Check this by printing a test page, as told in the user manual. Sometimes called an alignment print.
Then check if all colours appear correct. Looks like yellow is not working correct.

My Officejet 6000 E609n printer doesn't print the correct colors. The red is printing yellow and the blue and green are a lighter version of what is on the screen. I have cleaned the printer head

Hi,

This is not a cartridge issue. IT is Printhead issue. Since you have done the manual cleaning, it is now time to replace the Printhead.

Regards,
Suhail

Only prints in green and blue

You are more than likely out of magenta (red) ink. That printer uses a tri-color cartridge, and it has cyan (blue) magenta (red) and yellow ink. Green is blue + yellow-therefore you do have those two colors; since it will not print anything red or black you will need to replace both cartridges.

Color on photos suddenly has a blue - purple wash with no greens

Your yellow cartridge is probably not working as your photos suggest. Remove and reinsert the yellow cartridge. Try printing only yellow color.
Your printer has a separate head for printing; the nozzle for yellow ink might be clogged. Try running a head cleaning routine from your printer software.

Wont print out document in blue print

Sorry your having this issue. Because Blue is a lite shade of Black, or a combination of red yellow and green ???? Point is even if you have only a black ink cartridge, or only color cartridge. Blue should be visiable and able to print.
Good luck, jasahasch

Pictures coming out green

On a picture that you have printed, when you see an area of green, what color should it be? You probably have reduced flow of one of the "balancing" colors. Blue, Yellow and Red add up to Black. If your picture is supposed to be almost black and you don't have enough red, the color will pull toward the blue and yellow, giving it a green tint.

Photo prints

Try cleaning mode on the printer, secondly a single color on a print or two or thre with one color noticeably absent means that that cfartridge is close on or is empty. EG Red Blue Yellow most of print is Ok but at end of print only blue seen means RED AND yellow are empty and only blue has some ink left. Replace ALL cartridges so your prints and paper arent wasted .

COLOURS PRINTED DO NOT MATCH SCREEN COLOURS OF ITEMS
