After some digging, I found where to find the setting,(before seeing these responses) but at first is was not obvious. Once I got to the "Profiling-Print Target Screen"
and next to "Print Selected Target" the "Print" button brought up the Page Setup box. Clicking "OK" brings up another screen asking if you want to print all the pages or just the one shown. At that point I should have made the choice but since I had not been presented with the option to make a media selection, I thought that it would just start printing. Had I continued and made my choice which would have brought up the "Page" box which is where the media setting, etc is determined. I guess I expected it to be found earlier(after clicking "OK" from the Page Setup box), and when it didn't, I backed out.
But, for now, all is well and have printed out some Media Setting Check pages to make a determination as to which media to chose. So far I have printed 4 separate pages(4 different media settings-all on the same paper) and see subtle changes. It's not easy to pick between them!
And for the record, I did state that I was on Windows Vista and not OSX(Mac) 8^)
