Digital BW, The Print

Hi All, this is my first post, I have bought a printer Canon Pixma iP4200, and I have a problem; when I tried to print in B&W I get a slightly magenta copy from it, I have read if I add a little of green to the picture it will compensate the magenta tone and I'll get a real B&W.
I'm not sure about that and I didn\ufffdt try it yet.
What I would like to know is if some of you already have had the same problem and how you solved it.
Additionally, if somebody can tell me how much is the green % that I should add to the picture; if that's the problem.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

If you're using Photoshop, try using between +2 and +5 green.

That seems to take care of any magenta cast I need to deal with.
