Digital BW, The Print

Guy ...

I have all my profiles, inlcuing QTR-Gray Lab in the following
location: WINDOWS\SYSTEM 32\SPOOL\DRIVERS\COLOR, and am able to get to
 QTR-Gray Lab from both the 'Edit>Color Settings' and
'Image>Mode>Convert to Profile' dialogs.  I am using XP Home Edition
and would expect it uses same setup as XP Pro.   

Let me know if this helps.
