"PRINTING: The infamous TechNote ID: kb400878 is a major screw-up!
Ramon - 10:19pm May 7, 2007 Pacific

The recent TechNote ID: kb400878 makes no sense.

Its instructions and the technique they describe leave no way or room 
for the user to select a custom or even a canned profile in Photoshop 10 
(CS3).

What is this all about?

    Issue

    When you print from Adobe Photoshop to an Epson Stylus printer such
    as the Photo 2200 (Photo 2100 in Europe), Photo 2400, or the Pro
    4000, colors may be too dark or have a magenta or green color cast.

    Solution

    Let the printer manage the colors."

That's JUST brilliant!  Another example of Adobe LITERALLY refusing to 
even acknowledge, much less fix, a problem in CS3.  Heck, who needs 
custom profiles, just let the printer mange your colors!

..and another reason to use QImage for printing instead.

Someone please congratulate Adobe for shipping a Premier graphics 
program that can't even print properly. What gigantic asses!

(For those who don't know Ramon is a longtime regular at the Adobe 
Forums, he's not some half-crazed anti-Adobe bomb-thrower.)
