For those on Windows the procedure with QTR is different because you 
print through QTRgui.
So you must explicitly use Convert-to-Profile to do the conversion.  
Although it may seem
very different it's actually the same computation that happens when you 
select an ICC
profile in the Print with Preview page.  BTW, you can also print in 
Qimage by selecting a
print ICC profile which converts on the fly as it writes the TIFF file.
