Indeed, Andrew, very few printers willingly give away their profiles. It's rather the exception than the norm, if you ask me. They think they're giving away commercial secrets when they pass along their profile. The truth is, I think, is when they do give their profile away they all of a sudden become vulnerable and open themselves to criticism and reveal their technical ignorance about color, which they don't exactly like to do. Let's face it, not too many printers are ICC saavy in north america even in 2004. Europe? I could not say. Japan? Probably. China? We'd be surprised.

OK - that was a bit rant-y, I apologise. But seriously, what is reasonable
to look for/expect from a printer that claims to use colour management?

Reasonable? "Here's are profile, have it at". That's a reasonable reply. And
there are a rare few printers that would say this and supply a profile.
Unfortunately as you've seen, the BS factor from many others is quite high!
