What kind of "driver settings" do you refer to? The PPD specific

Yes. Most drivers have different kinds of modes like Photo or
Photorealistic, or Standard, or Off, or Optimized, etc. They use all
kinds of different terminology.
It's just that I still want it to be a bit closer, and want to be able
to use a custom profile (at least in the longer run); therefore, I
want to get the printer to work with ColorSync. (But to stay on topic,
it's probably better to move this discussion to the other thread.)
Well if you intend to use a custom profile anyway, then I'd go down
that road now. Dump the canned CMYK profile from HP, and build a custom
profile for the printer. Just make sure you aren't trusting Cocoa
applications to spit out raw CMYK without a conversion by either the
app or ColorSync, without testing it to be certain. If you have some
utility that produces its own PostScript from a test target, then you
can be assured that ColorSync won't mess around with it.
