I think you hit it on the head. Chances are almost certain that the
drivers are different between OS 10.4 and 10.5 (I know many of the
drivers had to be re-written/updated for Leopard - I don't remember
that happening with earlier OS's. Of they had to be updated, they
almost certainly don't print the same way as the old ones thus
requiring all new profiles.
The prospect of creating multiple profiles for each paper/printer
combo to suit each workstation becomes an impractical time-eater.
Does anyone have any insight or similar experience?
Ever considered getting a RIP instead of printing through the drivers?
It's extremely rare (almost never?) for a RIP to change its behavior
based on an OS update. Sometimes the RIP version itself will change
its printing characteristics based on a version upgrade but that's
usually in the interest of improving its printing behavior in some way
(different color engine, better linearization method, etc.). However,
most quality RIP vendors will usually have an option to use "legacy"
behavior if they do alter the color/print engine.
