That can't be true all of the time. First, from a theoretical standpoint
it would make it impossible to print profile targets properly to any
printer if everything were always being color managed.
Second, from the experience of actually printing targets with no color
adjustment on a couple of Epson printers and one Lexmark printer - I'm
able to get the same results as I do in Mac OS 9 with the same settings.
So OS X definitely has some means of not doing color management.
What's still confusing with OS X is WHEN this is happening (and not
happening), and the fact that there is apparently no mechanism for the OS
to negotiate color management settings between the application and the
printer driver. It's still possible to get double color management to
occur by doing color management in the application AND in the printer
driver (UI in the printer driver, but actually performed by OS).
