Photo Printing Problem

I've had this printer for almost 1 year. All ink cartridges are original except black. I was printing photos for the first time and the first 6 printed out fine. The next 3 had a predominately greenish color over all. I performed cleaning cycle on both color and B/W and tried another. Same thing. Are my cartridges old...They still indicate about 1/3 full...or is there another problem. I don't want to print any more pics really until I can solve the problem. Thanks
