WindowsXP printer associated profile- ignored by PrintFixPro, or not?

WindowsXP printer associated profile- ignored by PrintFixPro, or not?

2006-04-17 by Gary

My question came about because I printed out a 700+ target and read it, then remembered that I did not remove the associated (default) profile from the printer I was profiling. I just want to make sure before I throw the just created profile away, that indeed PrintFixPro did (does) print through the system level associated profile - instead of ignoring it (maybe because it cannot ignore kit?). Please confirm or correct.
Thanks
Gary

Gary,
in all cases I know these WinXP printer associated profiles are
ignored unless you activate them in the printer driver.
For example:
My Canon ip5200 has 6 associated profiles but only uses them if the
ICM checkbox is checked inside the printer driver.
So...if you've done a proper target printout, all settings as advised
by the manual (no driver internal color management!), you've done it
right! You must not remove these WinXP printer profiles, they don't
hurt anybody.

You can be the test case for this. To the best of our knowledge our application does not trigger a conversion under Windows, no matter what you associate. But remove the associated profile, and reprint the target, measure some key patches in both versions (when dry), and compare (you can use the excel sheet I put in the downloads section of this list for comparison. If there is no significant difference, then you've proved the point.

Yes sir Mr Tobie!
I believe I can get to this over the next couple of days - pretty jammed today for sure. And then will report back. Thank you as always.
This whole thread has me reviewing - I do not remember where my notes are today - but when then printing from PS (7 in my case) "print with preview", does having an "associated profile" for the used printer also a possible double profiling or definitely not?
