So I got an Epson Stylus NX420 all-in-one. I installed the included drivers on my iMac. Attached to my iMac is an HP Photosmart C4580.

Since I installed the Epson software, my HP printers have been acting strange. I have the Photosmart C4580 connected both via USB and wirelessly, and I have an HP Officejet (8500) connected wirelessly as well. I have my own small eBay business sorta thing, and when shipping printing labels I use the "fast draft, black and white" preset. Now when using that preset, the shipping labels print out in a hot pink color, sort of looking like it is out of ink. However, when I take black and white copies, they come out fine. The printing process also takes about 15 seconds, noticeably longer than the usual three seconds.

With the Officejet, even using the "fast draft, black and white" preset, it takes about 30 seconds to print.

I removed the Epson printer from my list of printers, but the problem still persists. There is no uninstall utility to remove the Epson software.

Could anybody give me ANY help on this issue? Thanks.
