(I can't see the computer forum listed any more.)
I can't stop my computer printing anything I see as shaded grey on the screen in pink and I don't like pink much at all and frankly, in a bull catalogue page, it doesn't necessarily 'work'! Any ideas? I may just have a crappy system.

Your printer should have a print test page facility - try Start, Printers and Faxes, right-click on the printer icon and choose properties. Maybe one of your colour cartridges has run out? On the other hand, maybe pink is a good colour

It's just got the black and colour cartridges in. I think it's a software problem. When I tried printing a photograph a couple of months ago it was ALL PINK! HORRID.

If you do a print test do all the colours print properly? If the blue is empty or blocked then the blend of colours doesn't happen. If you get blue-tinted glasses it may help

probably you need a new cartridge, one of the colours will have run out.

But grey will print grey sometimes. I just don't understand why if I ask it to print in greyscale, i.e. only black and white, it still insists on PINK. Bloody thing.

Has happened to me before too, you'd think grey would just be a level of black ink, but apparently not. New colour cartridge I'd say.
PS if ever buying a new printer, buy one that has four cartridges (black, cyan, magenta, yellow) as you'll find that one or two colours will run out way before the others and can be replaced individually without having to chuck what is left of the remaining colours too...

In that case my bull catalogue pages can just be pink.

Painting them pink and putting flowers in their ears wouldn't even do that!

You haven't got pink paper loaded by any chance?
Nah, it is defintely your colour ink cart is either empty of a couple of colours, or the nozzles are blocked.
See if there is a 'nozzle clean' option under Maintenance in the printer. Sometimes I have to clean 3-4 times if I haven't used the printer in a while, as the ink dries in the jet, and needs to be blasted out.
