I have tested it using Photoshop's output colorspaced to apply custom

get with the i950, fully saturated, and as expected. Haven't played
with asking
ColorSync to use the profiles for me...
In further testing it has become evident that the problems I'm seeing
are a bad interaction between several applications and the print
system, and have nothing to do with the printer or driver. I realized
this last night when I used the Preview button on the print panel and
discovered that the tonal and color shifts were perfectly reproduced
on-screen in Panther. Furthermore, preview results are the same using
a completely different printer so I've tentatively crossed the print
driver off the suspect list.
Here is as screen grab showing proper screen display in an application
(Portraits & Prints in this case) and the print preview:

Note the tonal lightening shift and blue to purple shift.
I'm guessing either a bug in the Apple side of the print system, or an
intentional change in the print interface that is breaking a variety of
applications.
Apparently changes in Quicktime 6.4 broke on-screen display of iView
Media Pro. They reported that starting in 6.4 using Quicktime to
display images automatically does corrects for the display by default
so the images in iView were getting double corrected. (The 2.0.1
update of IMP fixes this.) I asked if this might be an issues with
printing but haven't received a response.
