Hi Bob,
It turned out that two colour channels of a newly bought Photo Ink 
cartridge were blocking, probably not stored correctly at the shop where 
I bought them.And it only happened in high resolution mode (when the 
photo cartridges cut in) and resulted in all my greys having a yellow cast.

BTW - I found out something I didn't know - HP cartridges have a "best 
before" date printed on the box and the cartridge, don't know about 
other makes, do they have them too? So this is something I'll be looking 
out for next time I buy. Also some decent tricks (not in the manual) 
about cleaning contacts and printing heads. Also that  the colour 
calibration test page should preferably be printed on photo paper. And, 
it's a lot better to print test pages from the menu "Tools"  on the 
printer rather than from the PC menu.The test page then shows you in 
detail exactly what's happening

In the case that the help they suggested wouldn't work, they  requested 
that I send them printed test pages for analysis, along with all serial 
numbers of cartridges, printer etc. That sounds to me as if they are 
really standing behind their products.
cheers
Douglas
