Setting the clearly angry tone of this thread aside:
Sounds like you are confused as to how to apply printer profiles in
PS. I don't recall at what version the printer profiles started
working right (it was long ago) but as of v.7 "convert to profile"
works fine for printing under both 9 and X.
Printing with "no color adjustment" in the printer driver after
converting in PS to an appropriate printer profile is definitely the
best (most control, most consistent) way to print RGB files (without
a RIP) in my experience. It works in PS 7 with both printer-supplied
drivers and also PostScript drivers, even of the generic kind (for
PostScript capable printers).
If you detail your step by step procedure, I am sure someone on this
list can tell you what you are doing wrong.
There is always room for improvement, but to say or imply that
printing is currently broken in PS on the Mac is entirely inaccurate.
If you are having problems, and it sounds like you are, please try to
not give in to your frustration and instead systematically try to
find a solution. We can all learn from your experience, whereas
venting your frustrations helps only yourself.

puts into the printing system is tagged with the Generic RGB Profile,
regardless of the actual profile. Think about it for a moment and you
will realize that the ONLY way photoshop is going to be able to
correctly print an image that isn't already using the Generic RGB
Profile is to have photoshop convert to the output space and hope that
the printer registers "Generic RGB Profile" as the printer profile when
you select "no color adjustment". This certainly explains why my
"Same as source" printouts never looked right. An Adobe RGB file
printed with "Same as source" will have Adobe RGB data that the print
system will interpret as Generic RGB. (I'd really like to see if
Photoshop CS behaves differently.)
