  1. I'm using Canon CD Label Print under xp-sp2 with a pixma ip4200 printer. For the past few days, most label print colors come out green except for brown or creamish colors. Black comes out as dark green.

    I've gone through all the maintenance operations such as injector cleaning and so forth. I physically checked the cartridges themselves which all contain liquid.

    I updated cd Label Print to 1.30.

    Maybe the cartridges themselves are clogged up. Should I dip the cartridge nozzles in hot water or something like that?

    Sounds like a print cartridge issue. It sounds like your printer uses individual cartridges for the colors (usually three, red (magneta), blue (cyan), yellow. Sometimes they can be cleaned and sometimes they can't. You can usually try wiping them with a Q-Tip dipped in alcohol then using the "clean print head" function in the printer software. If that doesn't work, you will need a new cartridge. In your case, since you are getting a greenish tint, the culprit is likely magneta.
