White Background Prints Yellow

[Fotoman]

I've opened a new document in PhotoShop 7 with a "white" background and have montaged a couple of photographs on to it.
When I print directly from PhotoShop to my Epson R300 inkjet printer, the background, which is supposed to be pure white, prints out as a light yellowy/beige.

If I import the photograph into QuarkXpress and print it out, the background is a nice clean white. What's going on inside PhotoShop?

As I'm in Europe my Colour Profile is set on PhotoShop 5 Default Space (sRGB IEC61966-2.1) but it doesn't matter what profile I use, it's still the same colour creeping in for the background.

Any ideas will be most gratefully received.

...usually the sign of a profile conversion in the driver or by photoshop, ensure either photoshop or the print driver is managing color and not both the driver and photoshop...

...also check your destination profile is the correct printer profile...
