You need to go to the maintenance tab on your printer properties and deep clean the head. If that fails, remove the print cartridges and poor some rubbing alcohol on the print head enough to wet it, replace cartridges and deep clean again, if that fails you may need a new print head or replace the printer, cost dependent.

Lexmark x2600 printer; color looks great for 1st 2 inches of printing then changes; green went blue, yellow went white, red to purple.

Your cartridges may need to be cleaned. Open the Lexmark Solution Center and select Clean to fix horizontal streaks. This will force ink out through the cartridge nozzles, cleaning it from dirts and clogs. This will improve print quality on your printer. Also, make sure you are using genuine Lexmark cartridges to achieve high quality results.

Color on photos suddenly has a blue - purple wash with no greens

Your yellow cartridge is probably not working as your photos suggest. Remove and reinsert the yellow cartridge. Try printing only yellow color.
Your printer has a separate head for printing; the nozzle for yellow ink might be clogged. Try running a head cleaning routine from your printer software.

Scanned pictures are printing with different colors

Are the ink cartridges refilled or compatible? They may be defective.
Are they installed correctly (not in the wrong slots)?
** Note that even if they are replaced it will take SEVERAL pages before the quality returns
