That's a good idea. I already repaired permissions to no effect
(apologies for not mentioning that) but I forgot all about the OS X
caching mechanism. I'll do that. Any other ideas out there, please
have at it! I can't be the only one to have had this problem - I know
I've seen it before myself, though I don't know what fixed it (buying
a new computer, perhaps!).

Try repairing permissions and deleting caches, especially the

I've installed drivers and profiles for a Canon PIXMA Pro 9500
Mark II printer. To profile photo papers for which profiles aren't
included with the drivers, I've got a Colormunki. To use the
Colormunki I have to print the test charts with no color processing
at all. Due to the fact that the Canon drivers for this printer do
not provide a way to do this, the workaround is to use the "Generic
RGB" profile. In order to use that, one must choose "More
Profiles..." under the "Color Options" tab of the print dialog.
My problem is that when I do this, any application that tries it
exits immediately with an error in CoreFoundation, trying to build
a string to put in the pop-up menu. I don't know what could cause
this. Colorsync app says all the profiles are fine. The disk
checks out OK under Disk Utility (and Tech Tool Pro). Resetting
the printing system and reinstalling the Canon drivers didn't help
either.
I can't find any documentation on the nature or location of the
system's Colorsync database. I know there is one, because
Colorsync does not list all the profiles present on the system -
for example, under /Library/Colorsync/Printers, only the printers
actually present on the system have their profiles included.
Can anyone tell me where this database is located, and how to fix
or reinitialize it. I don't care to use the "nuclear option" (OS
reinstall).
Thanks!
