Default Canon i960 colors are all wrong!

I just bought three new Canon ink tanks for my i960. When I print a
particular photo that has a grayish blue background, it's mostly bright
mint green instead, and of course the skin tones are greenish. My photo
is color corrected to look very realistic, and looks beautiful on
screen. I also printed a logo that has light blue in it and which
printed perfectly before I replaced tanks. Now the blue is light mint
green. Color experts: Which tank(s) do you think are the culprit(s)
given the green cast? Or does this mean clogged nozzles? They're brand
new tanks, and the other tanks (that still have ink left) were printing
fine before I ran out of the other colors. Is there anything I can do to
fix it with the Printer Utility or do I need to take the cartridges back
to Staples and get replacements? If they're in the same lot, they might
all be bad. Yesterday I posted a different message saying the Printer
Utility gives me this message: Error Number: 19 Utility function cannot
be used because the printer is performing processing. Make sure the
printer has finished the processing, and try again. (The printer is not
performing processing when I get this message. I'm not printing and
doing anything--just trying to get the Utility to do its job). The last
time this thing with the Utility happened, I reinstalled the printer
driver and all was well. Strange that I'd have to do that, but I
reinstalled it again, to no avail, and too make sure it wasn't a
corrupted driver (Mac OSX version), I restarted in OS9 and used the OS9
driver--same green cast. HELP!
