Green Tint on greyscale imgaes

[MattPXL]

I'm having a problem printing black and white images from indesign.cs. I'm working on a newsletter with about 10 black and white images in it. When I send the newsletter to my color printer (HP ColorJet 4500) all the black and white images come out with an olive green tint.

The only color i'm using in the newsletter is pantone 557 (olive green) with varying levels of opacity. Somehow the black and white images are picking up this tint. The images are defeintly greyscale, and when I print samples from my file browser they will print B&W with no green tint.

So far I have un-installed and re-installed Indesign, and updated my printer drivers, among other things. I have looked through all my settings and found nothing out of the ordinary. Any greyscale image i place into indesign has a green tint.

Please HELP!!!

Any ideas??? Thanks in advance

Maybe change the b/w images to CMYK?

Somewhere along the line the b/w color profile is picking up the pantone color as your monochrome for b/w. Even with uninstalling/ reinstallng ID, the profile will still stay.

Also, if you can find the prefs file and delete it while ID is closed... I know that works with Photoshop, not sure if it will work with ID.

When in doubt, deny all terms and defnitions.

Is your HP printer your final output device or will this go to a print service provider? If not...

If using IDCS, review the separations in the separation preview tool.

If using ID2, print separations to see if the green is appearing on the black plate.
