Lots of PostScript Printers (and thats what the PS on the end is for) use
AdobePS. LaserWriter or other PostScript drivers, and are CMYK devices. You
can still build an RGB profile for them, but lose control of the channels,
and can only use it to process RGB files. Start by trying to profile it as a
CMYK device...
