Hello Richard,
The 2200 driver used was version 5.40. When you go into the
click "advanced", the "ICM" option is bow available. Upon
cliccking "ICM", one of the options is "No Color Correction". That
is what I chose. Then, in PS 7.0, "print with preview", and here is
where you choose the profile.
Someone mentioned that the printer driver has been changes quite a
bit recently. But since I don't own a 2200, I cannot be sure.
Regards.
Shilesh
