The bug I filed is here:-

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1377463&group_id=1537&atid=101537

It has my scans of comparative output. The bug was about alignment, but
you can see the colour balance changes very easily in one of the two
sets of images I posted - see if it looks like what you're getting.

Not writing this on the machine with the printer, but from memory when
you print from GIMP there's a button on the dialog that unlocks the
defaults, and lets you adjust the balance.

Alternatively, ISTR the R300 has a card slot. Copy the JPEG files onto
the card, and print them directly from the front panel.

I'd be curious to see what you get.
