Print color is changing on its own

The color of my print outs, which are predominately red, started to come out salmon colored and are now tan.  I am using elements 2019.  I have had the file printed on another computer, and it came out salmon also.  I have rebooted, confirmed that the software, not the printer, makes the color decisions in the advanced settings page.  I have several files with the same red pattern in them, they are all printing out wrong, as noted above. j cubie

Since your printer manages color, go to Edit>Color settings and check the option to optimize for color screens.

Also, go to Image>Mode and check RGB Color.

Are you using genuine ink recommended by the manufacturer of the printer? Does the color of  a test print derived from your printer look ok?

Is your monitor calibrated?

Yes did all and reset the program to defaults.  I guess I need to calibrate.  Recommend a calibration system?
