Printer profiles suddenly not as good as they used to be

[ianmarsh]

I am not sure what I have done but my Lightroom printer profiles (done by Fotospeed a few years ago) which were pretty much spot on a few months ago seem now to be way off. Black and whites come out with a green tint and colour shots are really lacking in yellows/oranges. B&W using no profiles (using Lr's "colour management by printer" setting) don't have any tint but colour shots don't look good this way either, though I haven't used this in the past so don't know if that has changed. Print heads are clean, cartridges are full. I am on a mac running El Capital 10.11.5 in case it matters, printing on an Epson r2880 and various papers from Epson and Fotospeed. Any ideas?

Check you haven't somehow turned colour management on in printer dialogue.. sounds very much like double profiling.

I don't think it is double profiling as I always have Lr managing everything but I will check, just in case

Setting LR to manage the colour doesn't turn off any colour control settings in the printer control panel - indeed there is a message in LR that reminds you to makse sure the printer's controls are off.
