Colour test print, or settings to produce one?

[MJ]

My Canon i9100 has started to produce some odd coloured prints and I'd
like to pin down which particular cartridge or head colour is playing
up. The B&W prints that I was doing started to come out distinctly
magenta, but before that I kept getting the occasional green one. As
B&W mostly use photo cyan and photo magenta it's probably the photo
cyan gone awol, but I'd like to make sure. It's strange because a
normal nozzle test print shows that everything is ok. I've found a
cyan/yellow/magenta/black chart to print, which told me that all those
colours were ok, but I need to print photo cyan and photo magenta.
Does anybody know of a link to get a colour chart to print, or the
colour settings in Photoshop to produce photo cyan and photo magenta?

If your nozzle checks are good, you're either looking at a driver or color
management issue. Sounds to me like you just toggled a PS or driver setting
that you are unaware of.
