First
From what you are describing, I think you need to adjust your screen
calibaration.
Go to Tools/Options/GLobal/Colour Management
and enable the checkbox against *Calibrate colours for display* if it is not
already enabled.
This will show you as truly as possible on screen what your colours will
look like on your printer, especially the blues. This may make it necessary
to rescan your photo if you have done a lot of messing about with it as you
have stated.

Secondly, is your colour cartridge giving you all 3 colours on a nozzle test
print?

Thirdly, your choice of paper and printer settings can influence the final
result dramatically. Is everything selected properly there?

Hope this helps
