Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the response and info, Clayton.  I was beginning to think 
that maybe there *are* such things as dumb questions ;-)  Under PS 
5.5, at least in the version I can use, I only have the options under 
<print> to 1) choose a color space that Photoshop will convert the 
image to before the file data is sent to the printer or 2) either 
choose printer color management or not. According to PS 5.5 help, if 
checked, this "instruct[s] the printer to convert the file data to 
the printer's color space."  So if I understand this, it looks like 
if I leave that unchecked it just might be the same as choosing "same 
as source."  Boy, I've a lot to learn!

Thanks again,
Joe
