I am running Spyder3Print on a Mac Mini under OS-X 10.6.2, Snow Leopard, but am now having problems using my S3P profiles as the system is profiling twice. I think that the problem arose after the last update of Snow Leopard. I need to make my own profiles as I am using neither Epson papers nor Epson inks in my Epson R2880.

If in Lightroom I go into Print Settings and open the Color Matching tab, the system has selected Colorsync, and the options are greyed out so that I cannot change them. I assume that in this situation two profiles are being applied, an Epson and mine, and the results are truly awful.

To reverse the situation, I have to delete the printer preferences file, and then I find that I can select Epson Color Controls, and save the settings. This together with No Color Adjustment means that my profiles work as desired. But it gets worse: within 5 minutes I find that the system has again selected Colorsync and the fields are greyed out again, so that I cannot change the selection.

Surely this is not a problem unique to my machine. Is there anyone else who has seen and cured the problem?

Any suggestions received with thanks.
