I make no claims to expertise and will defer to those with more expertise
than I.  However, it sounds to me as if a) scanner is not calibrated with
respect to your monitor and printer; b) the color profile which your scanner
uses as the basis for its outputs to Photoshop is flawed; and Photoshop is
not attaching the color profile it is using to the file when it exports it
to the printer for the printers interpretation in terms of its color
profile.  In short, it appears as if the various devices that you are using
are not calibrated to one another in your workflow.

My comment as well as others suggestions concerning inks and color gamuts,
from what you have said, may not be the real underlying problem since it
apparently not restricted to the printer alone but covers both the scanner
and monitor.

The scans, when I first open then inPS, are mauvey grey. I can adjust them
on the monitor to look just about right but they still print poorly. But I
don't think it's the printer because things like blue skies and blues I
make up myself are okay. Which is why I'm so puzzled.
