To my knowledge the printer color management can not detect what the
assigned color space is in the data it gets from the application you print
from. So it offers two choices of color space and expects the user to send
image data with the corresponding color space assigned. The application
should not perform color management but allow the choice: Let Printer do
color management. No rendering in the application should have effect then.
The image data should still have the color space assigned up to the the
printer color management but I doubt it will be recognised. The printer
color management has a default rendering but I doubt it includes BPC. Based
on experience with HP Z3100 and Z3200 drivers. The PS driver of the last
model offers some CMYK assigned spaces as choices too.
