If you check "Apply Output Preview Settings" in the advanced
print dialog, it goes from the simulation space to the printer space. The
simulation space is, by default, the working space (unless there's an output
intent, in which case that becomes the simulation space). You can change the
simulation space in the output preview dialog.

This is consistent with how Rips operate that don’t
use a Source profile for CMYK (only RGB); there is just a Simulation Profile
that is also the Source Profile for CMYK. So, it’s Simulation to
Output/Paper Profile.
I think that by the weekend, I NEED to do some test. I have
ALWAYS printed my Ink Limit, Linearization and Profiling targets, from Acrobat,
using ‘Same as Source’ – disabling all CM. Build Profiles and
did the Color Conversions in IQueue; then printed the final results from
Acrobat with the same ‘Same as Source’ setting. This method is
Bullet Proof. (However, STILL manually changing the working space (If I did not
instruct IQueue to embed the profile, e.g., DeviceLinks) to the proper
Destination space for preview/soft proofing purposes.
Once I start doing the conversion with Acrobat, I have to
admit; I’ve not had a iron clad stance on the Apply Working Spaces
setting but I do remember [Chris] one time where I profiled two printers, one
simulating the other and got a great match. When the customer tried the print,
the results were bad. When I went back in and checked the settings of the
reference machine, the only difference was that the Apply Working Spaces was
deselected; selecting it brought everything back in-line., i.e., Saved my A**

I will let you know the results of the testing for v6 and v7
