Moving forward, OS X is taking steps to prevent accidental printing

standard OS X apps like Preview to print profile targets reliably.
Tagging it with Generic RGB will work today, but not tomorrow when Snow
Leopard launches (and switches to a default profile of sRGB, not Generic
RGB). And tagging the target with sRGB tomorrow may not work for the
future (should future versions of OS X switch to another default profile).
I always thought that this approach to "disabling" color management is a bad
idea because it's overly fragile, yet in the past this has been what various
people from Apple have recommended.
You've indicated what doesn't work, but haven't said what does work.
What is the new, official way to disable color management during
printing, so as to be able to print test charts ?

I'm sure other on this list will more be interested in application
information.]
