Datacolor User to User Support Group.

I know there is a lot of hue and cry over printing targets in Photoshop etc. Since I use Spyderprint and this group is about using Datacolor programs it has always amused me as to this specific issue. Since the program works fine. 

But to the R1800 assuming you actually have one as this thread is about that printer - it doesn't matter much if you can print profiles or not since once you do they are as useful as a three-legged cat in your workflow.

Unless you have old, slow mice where you print that is.

Absent a usable 10.6.X driver you may as well use test strips and Epson's own control and manually adjust to get your results.

From what I read, many applications are having trouble implementing a "no color management" printing. Below is a quote from Adobe found at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/834/cpsid_83497.html

As noted in the article, Adobe is working on a different way to restore the ability of printing untagged targets without color management."

This is why Adobe has decided to move the function outside of PhotoShop and into a separate target printing application that's easier to adapt quickly as things change.
