Digital BW, The Print

Remember there are two sides here.  Any colour management capable system
will have at least one default monitor profile (which likely changes
depending on the sort of monitor detected, eg Powerbook Display vs Apple
Cinema Display).  When PS (or PS Elements) receives an untagged document it
needs to give it a profile for display and will default to the default
workspace.  The CMM then uses this default workspace and colour manages the
transform to the default display profile.  You always need two profiles, a
source and a destination.
