What is the "RGB or CMYK mode" you refer to? Chris's point was exactly
that any given printer is either registered as CMYK *or* as RGB
printer? (<Sigh> My head feels dizzy ..)
Sorry for the confusion here, but I'm saying I would think that it
would be one or the other. Your printer has all three modes registered.
I don't know why.
Again my confusion: if a printer can only be RGB *or* CMYK, why offer
RGB *and* CMYK options?
A PostScript printer can accept either kind of data, even though
ideally it is best profiled as one or the other. So all I can think of
is if someone wanted to standardize their workflow on sRGB, they could
change the PPD so that the default space is RGB and then everything
would be normalized to sRGB. I'd need a copy of the PPD to see if
that's what's going on.
(Of course, why - as in my case - offer RGB options at all (but no
CMYK options) if the printer can be used only with CMYK?)
A good question for someone at HP.
