I'm asking for your help, Printing changes the colours in document

I am having trouble with printing.
I am using Pub 2003 & Windows XP, my printer is HP 7260. I made a brochure when I printed it on Kodak Picture Matte Paper for inkjet prints.
The preview did not shows any changes.

My coloured changed in printing as it follows:
Gray is pastel yellow.
Green is dark yellow.
Blue is torque green.
Dark gray is brown.

However the red & black colour did not change.

Anybody there who could help me with this, thanks in advance.

Oh look! Everyone's favourite moron's back with her moronic tag lines. This
has nothing to do with Publisher - there are no printing issues that cannot
be attributed to faulty hardware or faulty outdated or incorrectly installed
drivers.

As the preview didn't show anything, it cannot be anything to do with
Publisher, now can it?!

Vanialla,

The first thing that comes to mind is that you may be out of blue ink. Did
you check your ink levels?

I tried different thigns:
Changing my paper quality setting (from HP Matte) back to normal gave me a little closer colour to the original.
Also when I tried downgrade on quality from "dpi" to "best" with no change. However, when I tried "normal" I've got the colour I was looking for but the quality was poor.
I appriciate any help you could offer me.

Thank You

As JoAnn suggested, check the ink.
Do colors print ok in other programs?
Tried updating the printer drivers?

Sarah,

Give her a break. She has done nothing to deserve your faked wrath.

Thank You JL & Don,
You were right the blue ink was low, even though the program had not given me the prompt yet.

Thanks again,

That'll do it. When my colors start not looking right, the *first* thing I
do is to check ink levels. I prefer to think the software is working
properly rather than think something is wonky with it.

Thanks for all of you for the suggestion I've got.
I was too quick to answer that the only problem I had was the inklevel. (although it was very low)
With the new ink I checked in Normal Print quality which gives the right colour anyway, but poor quality.

Now I did accordingly the suggestions:
I've updated my printer driver
changed the ink,
checked the same images in Word 6 and I am getting the same results.

Normal is OK, but best or better the colour changing. I also tried to change the Paper Quality without any good results.

I still need your help.

Do you have the ICM option selected?
