Update: I tried to compensate for the 'green' by telling the print to go intensive on the black and magenta (+5, +8). I was surprised to see that the picture came out better. Did another nozzle check and the green squares had gone from 4 to 2. Just pushing those colors seems to have cleared the...

I'm not going to waste anymore photo paper on nozzle checks. I already wasted quite a bit trying to solve the green problem. Maybe I'll find a scrap around I can use.
