In the ColorSync Utility I have selected printer profile "BJ Color

something called "Recommended by Canon." I can't figure out what that
is or means.
As near as i can tell, it means "We are taunting you with an
unimplemented but desirable feature". For the moment, switching
profiles appears to require reassigning with the ColorSync utility, but
I haven't actually tried that yet.
A product support rep at Canon tells me it is a "profile created by
Canon and optimized for our printers." I've searched my system for a
profile by that title and nothing exists.
My i960 came with four profiles for different media types and the "BJ
Color Printer 2000" profile which looks like just a crude approximation
of a generic canon printer. All the profiles are registered with
ColorSync. Have you checked inside the various bundles in
/Library/Printers/CANON for a trace of other profiles?
Canon has been woefully inadequate in answering my questions. I'm
hoping someone on this list can be more helpful.
I think Canon's response to my queries was clear...clear that canon
tech support is a dead end:
We understand that you would like to be able to use ColorSync settings
or color management settings when printing from the different
applications that support them.
Unfortunately, this is an area that we do not support with our printer.
We recommend leaving the default ColorSync setting in the driver and
trying to print using our software application when color issues arise.
Have they ever tried printing with their software? For one, it ONLY
prints JPEG files. Two, the results are absolutely horrible. When you
print, it gives a dire warning about not touching any of the controls
in the print dialog, presumably because it sets them. But in my tests
it DOESN'T set anything but uses whatever the defaults happen to be set
to.
