Digital BW, The Print

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply.

The missing bit of info was: "Be sure the driver "Color Management" section is 
set to 'No Color Adjustment'..." - Somehow, I missed that and actually 
transposed your instructions for printing with the sliders(where you specifically 
write "Color Management: Color Controls checked, Mode = Standard") into 
your instructions for printing with the curves. Upon re-reading, I now see that 
you specify "No Color Management" for use with the curves.

The curves now print properly.

Thanks so much!
-Guy
