I've never intended to imply that the color management issues are all fixed, as all fixed is far to broad a statement. There are printers for which new drivers will never be produced, and which will conflict with newer OS and application functions in definately, and there are some driver/OS/App combos that are still problematic while others now work, if properly configured... if one can even figure out what that proper configuration might be. This is less of an issue for those using driver color management, more of an issue for those printing with custom profiles, and more of an issue still for those attempting to print color targets from Photoshop or other such apps. With Spyder3Print SR, its not necessary to print the targets through Photoshop, so at the most complex, and pervasive, or those configurations is sidestepped.

At that point, your remaining issue, as you rightly point out, is getting driver color management turned off, AND getting your printing application/OS/Driver chain to avoid doing an incorrect profile conversion without your permission.
