That's useful to know.  I'm convinced it's a software change that's doing
it because the printing has simultaneously got a lot faster.  The speed is
nice but the green tinge isn't.

No-one who's seen the current tinged output could possibly argue that it's
a subjective thing.  The colour balance is just plain wrong.

Can you give me some clues on how to adjust the colour balance?

Indeed.  I was using a Sarge workstation and now I'm using up to date
Etch.  I think I'll install Sarge under VMware and do some tests.
