I thought you meant image only prints (photos) ...

Maybe the DPI setting of the printer has changed? (far more noticeable in images) Besides the color being off is there a noticeable degrading in quality (more noise/distortion or fuzziness) in the affected area?

It happens regardless: text with image, images alone - the image's (image part's) color quality will always be less optimal than the text's.
Black things turn out to be anthracite.
Luminous yellow turns out as ivory.
And so on.
There don't seems to be a clarity loss, though. Hard to tell with the crappy colors not posing enough of a contrast...
Had not have a chance to do what I said earlier, by the way. Still the help is appreciated.

On a lighter note, I contacted Canon earlier and the only help they've rendered thus far is replying back: Have you checked the cartridge's fill level?

That's the first thing I thought of but I didn't want to ask you a question that made you seem less intelligent since I'm sure you already checked the fill level blues.gif

Have you tried to run a cleaning program/function?

Yep. Like I said, everything's running smoothly until the damn machine is supposed to print images. Which is really odd: I spent the last 24 hours trying out a whole lot of different filetypes, all to the same end. I can't wrap my head around why an image copied into a text document (and saved accordingly) would turn out as awefully light-toned as well.
Now I'm completely mystified because in the meantime I was able to track down the moment when troubles began to the day I upgraded from Office 2003 to Office 2010. It must have messed with some internal settings in a way I've not figured out so far.

Almost definitely a problem with image compression in office. Try saving the document as a PDF or HTML, then print that from a different program.

It's always been horrid, how hard can it be to just chuck the image into the file without processing it look like something from an Atari ohnoo.gif

It did something somewhere, but I'm afraid this is not it. Printing images from Paint Shop Pro or even the bloody Windows Image & Fax Viewer yields the same results.
I'm thinking Office installed additional services which, as collateral damage in a manner of speaking, had a negative impact on all other programs accessing the printer driver.
