The question I ask comes at the end.
In Windows: right-clicking on my printer (Epson R1800) in Printers and Faxes, selecting Properties, and then the Color Management tab allows one to associate a color profile with the printer. Lets say I click on the Manual radio button, choose SPR1800 Premium Glossy, then click Set as Default (and then click Apply, I think) SPR1800 Premium Glossy now appears in the middle of this screen as the Default color profile for the R1800.
In CS2: Ive got an image where I want it, so I Ctrl-Alt-P into Print Preview. Lets say that in the Options section, I select SPR1800 Enhanced Matte in the printer Profile field.
Finally, heres the question: when the Windows Default color profile (SPR1800 Premium Glossy in my example here) is set to a *different* profile than CS2s Printer Profile (SPR1800 Enhanced Matte in this example), which profile is used? Or do you need to choose the same profile in both places?
My experiments seem to indicate that the CS2 profile prevails, but if anyone can confirm or deny this, Id be happy to listen.
