I'm using the old 1005 spectro with v4.1.1 software under Snow Leopard and I am unable to produce a useful profile for Canon iP4500 with Kirkland paper and HobbyColor ink.

I print targets with Color Matching > Canon Color Matching and Color Options > Standard in the print dialog. Targets come out looking very similar to what's on screen, and the sample I print within Spyder3Print comes out gorgeous. Problem is, if I use this icc profile to print from anyplace else, it comes out all nasty, dark, greenish. In Preview I select Color Matching > ColorSync + created icc profile, Color Options > grayed out. In Lightroom and PS CS4 it works similarly. All produce nasty results.

With my Epson R280 I have no such problems. I print target with Color Matching > EPSON Color Controls, Color Management > Off. Photos printed from Preview with Color Matching > ColorSync + created icc profile look the same as when the sample is printed from Spyder3Print.

Any suggestions on how to print targets on Canon so I can produce useful ICC profiles?
