As you all know you can print from Photoshop sending the data directly to the printer with the "Photoshop manages colors" option, Apple worked with Adobe to implement that. The thing is the driver has to do the right thing too. Aperture can also do this, and in Lion so can ColorSync Utility, again if the printer driver supports it

Everyone on this list *except you* seems to know this mostly doesn't
work - at least for profiling targets, and often doesn't work for
normal files.
Maybe the driver doesn't do the right thing, ever, because everybody
is too dumb to figure out that thing? Even Apple's own virtual printer
example code supplied for Snow Leopard had color management bugs in it
the last time I looked.
As Chris puts it succinctly below, Apple has ignored user pain, very
vocally expressed user pain, to an unprecedented degree in order to
avoid publicly recognizing what is a technical failure, and has by
dint of persistence become an organizational failure.
