Screen color vs printed color

[Gene]

Using Pub 2003, with an HP Deskjet 1120C printer. (yes it's old)
Replaced color cartridge with a "generic" one.( yes I'm cheap)
Pub and Word cannot print RED but give me some kind of maroon.
I printed a PUB color scheme sheet and there are NO reds on it.
Since I have no other programs to print from I am wondering if Word and Pub
have problems with the color RED?

I read a few forum messages on the HP site about your printer. What version
Windows are you using?
You might find some of the messages enlightening. You could try a different
driver, there are suggestions.

As for your red issue, it is not a Word or Publisher problem. I've a couple of
Publisher files on my web site, try printing one of them. Or download a Word
template from the Office site that have a red design.

Mary,
Thanks for the reply.
In fact my problem was the "new" gereric cartridge. Took it back and got
another that prints vibrant RED!!!!!
Thanks again
McM

Publisher has no problems with printing reds. Either your printer, print
head, or cartridge is fouled.
