color profile/color management help

What I’m using:
I have taken photos with a Canon 10D digital camera set on Adobe RGB color profile,
I use Adobe Photoshop 6.0 for opening the file, and in photoshop, my color settings are set to Adobe RGB (1998)
and when I print, I am printing the Adobe RGB for the print space.
What my problem is:
I have erased a small area of the photo to attempt to get a value of pure white 255 for all three colors, and it appears white in photoshop, but

it prints to my HP Photosmart printer, the "white" area has a tinge of yellow beige.
Shouldn’t it be as white as the HP photo paper premium glossy paper that

is printe on?

Solutions?:
Any help is much appreciated. What I’m trying to do is to make sure that

accurate reproduces skin and teeth tones as accurately as possible but I’m having this stumbling block I’m trying to overcome.

Thanks,
Chris

One possible cause for the yellow is that your monitor color temp is set too low. If you set it to 5000K aka D50 in Adobe Gamma, try upping it to 6500. If it’s already at 6500, you can try playing around with the monitor color temp, but that’s probably not the problem.

You could just have hosed up color settings. Check out Ian Lyons (there are versions for each version of Photoshop, so look around a bit if you are not using CS):

Some how, the "erasing" part of the image to get a white point seems off.
