Try updating your printer driver and/or firmware.

@glamorous_Flutter1549, I'm assuming that you are responding to Glenn's post.  Did you check your ink cartridges as I suggested?

Cartridges are fine. Checked as much as I can. Thanks.

That typically, in my experience, is due to the white balance being off a bit in your camera (it happens alot with digital cameras). 

Give this a try, then print: (a screenshot from pse 2022)

It did the same thing. Tried it on another program, same thing only lighter. Thanks for your help.

There are all kind of factors that could contribute to what you are seeing.  Have you tried printing other photos with large areas of white?  Are you seeing any similar results?

 

The first thing I would look at is whether any of your printer inks are low.  Second, I would clean the ink cartridges (via the printer's utilities). 

Without seeing a copy of the printed photo, it is almost impossible to provide a further diagnosis.
