This is something they told me over a year ago they would resolve in an
upcoming version of PhaserMatch. What they are doing is the antithesis of
the ICC concept. They are basically breaking this concept by forcing
users to use their software to make ICC profiles for their devices. They
will accept ICC profiles from other packages for the purpose of
simulation, but will only accept their own ICC profiles from PhaserMatch
for the Xerox printer itself.

The only way it can be done is to give up doing it within the printer
itself, and get a batch processing application (color server) to stick in
between the workstations and the printer. Last I heard the only product
capable of setting up print queues and then forwarding the processed
results to a printer (versus using hot folders) is Gretag Macbeth iQueue
140. Although I haven't yet reproduced this particular bug myself, I have
heard there is a bug that prevents iQueue 140 from accepting PostScript
files larger than ~9MB into a print queue (it will accept any sized file
into a hotfolder).
