Suddenly, blue and red both come out as a kind of violet.. Have re-installed
the driver, changed both cartridges and checked software settings, all to no
avail. Can't find anything on the Web that helps. Do I need to physically clean
bits of the printer. If so, how? Thanks for any guidance.

Take a piece of toilet paper and press a nozzle part of your color cartridge
for a couple of second on it. And if you have not got clear Cyan and Magenta
and Yellow stamp on it, you have to buy a new cartridge.

Cyan + magenta =blue
Magenta + yellow = red

As you are getting violet output (magenta) when printing red or blue then it
looks like neither the yellow or cyan are working. As you've tried 2 sets of
cartridges I would try cleaning the contacts in the printer where the cartridges
fit, but it does sound rather terminal. Lightning strike?
