Nope, not an ink issue. worked just fine two days earlier on an XP machine.

Funny, too, Canon not only wants me to replace my ink, but also buy a new
print head. I'm going in circles with these idiots who don't read my detailed
tech support mesages.

It's blazingly obvious if you're sitting in front of my machine that it's a
color management issue. The image appears onscreen just fine for a moment,
only to be replaced a split-second later with a green tint version. Vista is
loading a color mgmt profile that is tinting the image.

I'm going crazy trying to resolve this.
