[SOLVED] OfficeJet Pro 6968 printing everything with cyan background
EDIT: This was caused by updating ghostscript to 9.26~dfsg+
-----
Starting today, everything I print in color from my computer prints with a cyan background (when the background should be white). This includes printing from Firefox, LibreOffice, and a PDF viewer, as well as test pages via Ubuntu and HPLIP.
Switching the printing to grayscale eliminates the undesired background (even on high-quality grayscale).
Printing a test page from the printer itself does not have this problem, which leads me to suspect a driver problem of some sort. I tried installing the latest driver and all dependencies, but I'm still getting the cyan background.
Any ideas as to what's going on here and how to fix?

Note: hp-check can be run in three modes:
1. Compile-time check mode (-c or --compile): Use this mode before compiling the HPLIP supplied
tarball (.tar.gz or .run) to determine if the proper dependencies are installed to successfully
compile HPLIP.
2. Run-time check mode (-r or --run): Use this mode to determine if a distro supplied package (.deb,
.rpm, etc) or an already built HPLIP supplied tarball has the proper dependencies installed to
successfully run.
3. Both compile- and run-time check mode (-b or --both) (Default): This mode will check both of the
above cases (both compile- and run-time dependencies).
Check types:
a. EXTERNALDEP - External Dependencies
b. GENERALDEP - General Dependencies (required both at compile and run time)
c. COMPILEDEP - Compile time Dependencies
d. [All are run-time checks]
