I sometimes open a Gretag MacBeth colorchart in PS and then choose the
"Don't colormanage" option. On the print with preview dialog I then
choose "same as source" as the source profile and all other options are
grayed out. If you want to select a printer profile you indeed have to
select a source-profile as well. Because you don't have any profile in
your document I don't recommend to follow that way of printing. It's
than better to first asign a profile to the file in Photoshop
(Image>Mode>Assign Profile).
If you choose assign profile you can select your working-space profile
without seeing any visible difference (in the preview). But if you
select any other profile you see how your image on screen changes
color.
So I think you can assume that without any profile embedded in your
document, Photoshop sees this images as if it has an embedded
working-space profile.
Yours,
Job

The recent thread on plotting untagged CMYK data reminded me of a
snafu I ran into a few weeks ago. If I were to print an un-tagged RGB
file through Photoshop, and specify a printer profile in Print Space,
what is assumed about the untagged RGB data? Photoshop has to use
something as Source...right?
Not that I would ever do this in practice...but since Photoshop allows
you to do this I am wondering what happens behind the scenes.
