Thanks for Chas for the links, I was able to disable color management in the printer driver. I've successfully printed on both Canon & Ilford papers using their ICC profiles.
I've switched to just using Photoshop CS3 for printing & I am now getting good results.
I like CS3 since it gives me the ability to soft proof... Being able to see how the rendering intent will affect the print is very useful, sometimes the difference is significant.
I do not like the fact I have to export as TIFF/PSD in order to work in photoshop. The files are big and I only need them temporarily.
I like the layout options in Lightroom, so my next step will be to try to do the layout in lightroom and the actual print in photoshop.
Hi Buurin
Forgive me if I missed something earlier in this thread. When you were using lightroom, and choosing to have Lightroom, rather than the printer, manage colour, I assume you set the appropriate paper-printer profile in the colour management box. ( I tried to attach a screen shot to show what I mean)
If you make that choice then press 'print' the Canon driver defaults to 'No colour management (at least Under Mac OS X : I'm assuming Windows 7 would do so too).
This method gives me excellent screen print agreement with Canon papers.
Additionally, I also get PDG agreement using "printer manages colour" provided I ensure all settings in the driver are set to standard and zero adjustments.
You said the red cast doesn't show up when you print from CS3 - that says the printer is fine (should be, it's a good printer!!)
When printing from LR check that, having set the print settings in the LR dialogue, they're actually still selected when you reach the Windows driver. I can only think that the red cast results from a media-profile mismatch.
