QTR doesn't have any color management built into it, (nor does the gimp driver).
All the color management (if any is being used) would be done in Photoshop.

QTR uses the low level part of gimp-print but the controls are vastly different.  You
can control the 7600 inks pretty much how ever you want.  You can probably use or
at least start with the standard UltraChrome profiles.
