Carl,

I'm looking at the print now in incandescent light, and I don't see
the magenta cast you mention.  But that doesn't mean it's not there. 
I'm still training my eye to catch such things.

I suspect, however, that the issue is with the driver.  I never
noticed this when I was running OS X 10.4.
