  assigned printer profile (back end) is the same (choose "Same As
  Source" from the profile list).  So you might try finding a front end
  curve that makes the screen image match the print.  As long as you
  have "Same As Source" at the back end the print will not change as you
  try different front end curves.  If you can get good WYSIWYG with this
  approach it might do the job for you.
Printing with Piezo is done via the export function of Photoshop. There is
no "same as source" - icc - function available for printing. Loris can
achieve good WYSIWYG if he uses a self made soft proof profile (cf <Matching
Your Monitor view to Your Prints.pdf> from Tyler Boley in the files section
of this group).
