    BRAND NEW CANON MP980 PRINTS SCANS WITH PINK CAST--please help

    Canon MP980 scans look fine on screen but come out with pink cast

    Hi everyone, I hope someone can help. My brand new Canon MP980 copies and prints perfectly, but when I try to print a scan, the colors have a pink cast. In other words, if I place either a B&W or color photo on the platen and make a color copy, the result is near perfect; if I scan the photo...
