Andrew -- No real work, it's a simple process.  So long as your 
printer is supported with pre-made curves, you just convert to RGB 
and load the appropriate pre-made curve in an adjustment layer.  The 
image will look funky on-screen but will print beautifully.

Paul R. and others have spent an incredible amount of time developing 
curves for the most commonly used printers.
