Why is Photoshop saving & Printing everything with a blue hue?

Whenever I save my images from photoshop & print them, it casts a strong blue hue over the entire image & ruins it. I can't figure out why this is happening! Is there something wrong with my color settings? I don't even know where to start. Thanks in advance to anyone who tries to help!

 

This is how it saves & prints                                  This is how it's supposed to look & print

Here's it actually printed - see the blue compared to the white boarder where there is no image

This is driving me nuts. Now that Iv'e changed my RGB settings from Dell to Adobe RGB, everything that I print & embed is yellow when it should be white. None of this makes any sense!

Like, photoshop is now changing everything that should be white & giving it a yellow tint. When I save it it still has a yellow tint. If I print inside photoshop it still prints blue. If I print outside of photoshop from the original document (before brining it into photoshop & saving it) it doesn't print blue. But if I save it from photoshop & export it as a jpeg or PDF or anything, it saves it with a yellow hue & prints blue.

No matter what I do Photoshop saves it with a yellow huge, and then as you can see here, when I go to print it (and when I actually print it) it all turns blue. So now it's not even just a print issue, it's the fact the photoshop itself is converting my white images to offwhite-yellow. I'm just so frustrated, and I'm clearly no expert. I don't deal with this stuff every day for a job or anything so I don't know how I'm supposed to be expected to understand all of these settings.

What are your color profile settings under Edit/Color Settings?

Well the very first thing to do is REMOVE that DELL display profile from RGB Working Space! NEVER set a display profile there. 

Next, check the three check boxes under "Gray" above and open the document. What do you see, and do you get a warning dialog from the check boxes? 

And you really need to view this:
