Canon Pixma MP500 prints dark skin tones

[campn4fun]

I purchased the Canon Pixma MP500 2 months ago. Photos I print of
people, the skin tones are unnaturally intense, I would say a reddish
color. I have used the "Enhance" setting on my photo editing program
(Photostudio 5.5) to set to less intense color which improves the skin
but then clothes and other objects are washed out. My interior pics
often have a strong gold/orange hue overall , eventhough I am not using
a flash and pics are perfect on the computer. I am shooting the
pictures with a Canon PowerShot S2IS. The photos look perfect on the
computer, but the prints are a grave disappointment. Any suggestions I
could make to the printer preferences to get better photos? betty

You should use photoshop and have that editor manage the color. Tell
the Canon print driver to set to manual and set the drop down on the
bottom to none. That means do not manage the color.

Then set your monitor correctly and what you see will be close to what
you get.
