"Let Printer Determine Colors" is equivalent to the old "Printer Color
Management", meaning that it sends the data as-is, tagged with a profile.

"Let Photoshop Determine Colors" is equivalent to selecting a particular
print space in PS CS. It enables the pull-down list before it, where you
select the actual profile.

"No Color Management" is equivalent to the old "Same As Source", meaning
that it sends the data as-is, without a profile.

I think the new terms are clearer. What I'm curious about is why "Let
Printer Determine Colors" enables the Rendering Intent pull-down list, but
not the Black Point Compensation checkbox. I'm guessing that the interface
to the printer driver includes a field for requesting a rendering intent,
but Black Point Compensation is a Photoshop-ism that isn't supported in the
OS (at least in Windows).
