hi hi !!
Originally my photos tuirned out yellowish too. Are you using a LCD screen or at least a lap top ? If so then it might be useful to you.
Here is how I sloved my problem. ... I calibrate my monitor using Spyder 3. After caliberation, I got an icm file / profile. I set my printer to use that icm profile under color management.
I am using photosop CS 2 to edit my photos. so in photoshop, print preview, color management, under printer settings, make sure it is selected the new icm profile. Under color handling, select let photoshop determined color. Your prints should come out with a color that is more true. If youa re using something else to edit and print your photos, you can do a quick internet search on how to color manage ...

My fren, no offence intended, but please DO NOT set your printer to use a MONITOR profile.
You cannot calibrate print output with a monitor profile! What u are actually doing is feeding a bunch of meaningless numbers to the print engine. That your output looks better is more of luck and the combination of colours in that shot than a testament to this technique.
As a simple illustration of just ONE of the differences: a monitor is SUBTRACTIVE, the more "colour" you add, the closer to white you get. Print output is ADDITIVE, the more ink you lay, the closer to black you get.

The only way to get consistent output is to have a print profile (the selphy might come with a canned profile). Then use this print profile to soft proof in PS while doing colour correction.
The monitor needs to be calibrated but the standard calibration for whatever colorimeter (huey/ spyder etc) you choose will suffice.
The key is :
1. Soft proof with the selphy profile in PS.
2. Colour correct out the yellow cast WITH the soft proof on. There are some simple techniques discussed here on cshttp://www.clubsnap.com/forums/showthread.php?t=482962)

My humble 2 cents.
