Re: Trouble using custom print profiles within CS5 64-bit on Win7

2012-03-12 by remononaz1

You may be having a file name issue. The file name that is given to the ICC is not the file name it has internally. I had this problem with CS4; the ICC files would be in the correct folder, but CS4 would not display them in the list of available ICCs in the printer set up. 

I found a utility that reads the internal file name from the file. I'm at work, so I can't get you more detailed information right now, but using this I could check the name and then change the actual file name to the internal name. Voila! The ICC shows right up in CS4 after changing then name.

So far all CS5 drop-down lists for specifying a printer profile for my 2200 gives me only the OEM generic 2200 files in the above sub-directory.  I have gone through Control Panel to the Color Management area and there gone through the procedure to associate one of the new icc files with my printer.  There is no error message when I do this, but the file is still not added to the 2200 list.  I went through Edit Color Settings but I can find no mechanism to associate the new files either – all drop-downs contain only the system-provided generic files.  I am clearly missing some critical concept, point or step in this process.
