I don't think the problem has to do with digital cameras.
It seems that so long as you use OEM inks, there won't be any problem.

When printed any images on 5-color ip4000 with non-OEM inks, prints were
perfect.
The problem occurs only on i9900.
i9900 uses extra PC, PM, Green, and Red inks.

Yesterday, I downloaded a beautiful baby picture from dpreview.com.
When printed on ip9900 with non-OEM inks, the picture was gorgeous.
Beautiful skin color along with beautiful blond hair color with blue and
green parts of his clothing.
Everything on the print was perfect to my eyes.

But printing of my own image on ip9900 came out to be blue tinted (with
non-OEM ink).

This could be some clues: Those downloaded pictures from dpreview.com range
any where between 0.2 - 0.6 MB size.
On the other hand, my pictures taken with D-50 DSL have about 2 MB size.
It seems that the color effect has to do with the resolution of the original
jpg.

What do you think?
I think you are trolling, or really need to bone up on color management.
 
If you would have always stuck with Canon and installed everything
correct including the software you should not have had the problem.

If you are using Photoshop then set it to use the profile for the paper
and to color manage. Then go to the Canon driver and turn off color
management by goint to the main page and choosing manual instead of
automatic. First choose your photo paper in the driver box ie. photo
paper pro under media. Then choose manual and make sure all of the
setting are 0. Then near the bottom under printer type choos none from
the drop down and then test a print. Make sure you are printing from
photoshop.

That certainly is not the case. That appears like a paranoid
statement. This person is having some difficulty and it may result in
inferior generic ink and also double color management or both.
 
Thanks.

I will follow your instruction.

I am not. I am very seriously interested in learning how to solve this
color problem.
So I wish to close this thread.
Thank you for input from all of you.

Do not let rude posters intimidate you. You have a legitimate problem.
Do not discount generic ink.
