This is on Photoshop 7.0 with Windows XP Pro.

Somehow my print color settings have been messed up and I do not know how to fix it. What I am trying to do is add text to a .pdf file that is not formated to do so in reader. I can open the .pdf file in photoshop and get a acceptable resolution. I then add text where I need to and save as a .jpg. The first two pages printed fine, just like the preview. The next day I went to finish and now everything that I try to print that has been touched by photoshop or has some sort of photo extension prints with a blueish/blue-green tinge to it even though the preview looks fine. I tried to open these files and print from Word, Photoshop Elements and MS Picture It and they all print the same. I scanned some pics and documents and they do the same thing. If I print it directly from reader or a previously created Word document they print fine. It seems to be the way the printer reads the file. The printer is a Epson Photo 820. What should the settings be? Any ideas would be of great help.

if when you opened the file it should have asked you to convert from RGB to CMKY or something to that extent. I'm not saying you did, but if you clicked ok it will change your color settings to the nearest match. That could be one reason. also, keep in mind that monitor color is very different from print color, especially in photoshop.
