It should be linearizing the printer to each paper, and that should 
also extend to the ABW printing. It should also allow you to get a 
profile once, and then just keep after the linearization to allow 
that profile to continue working as the printer changes.

Looks like the Windows version will not work if you don't have the 
correct drivers loaded too.
