Everything I try to print comes out in shades of blue and black. I have
an HP Deskjet 855C, an HP Scanjet 5p and an HP Pavilion running Win95.
I haven't tried to print any scanned images. I imagine I have to make
adjustments in the Color Manager, but have no idea what to do. It lists
the monitor as generic; the composite printer as the Deskjet 855C, the
separations printer as Generic, and the Scanner as the Scanjet 5p.
Help. Thank you. SJ

SJ,

Because you're using HP products, your best results will probably be
when you turn all of Corel's output color management OFF. For example,
you can use the monitor profile and printer/scanner profiles for
viewing onscreen, but at print time, go to the Misc tab of the Print
Options dialog box and turn off color correction (save this as a custom
print style for the future). Many HP devices have color correction
built in which cannot be completely disabled, even if a driver has an
option for it. The consequence is that the HP color correction and
Corel's color mgmt "battle" for control and the only one who loses is
you. <g>

Corel also has a document on color management you may like to read:
http://www.corel.com/products/graphicsandpublishing/draw7/docs/3414.htm

It's written for Draw 7, but applies to color management in general in
many ways.
