MonacoEZ? Whatever, scanner based printer profiles? No, it didn’t work worth a
damn making printer profiles.
Back in days even before that, at least there were actual tools like the
ColorTron (still have one) that could.

What makes you assume an un-profiled scanner can make a printer profile that’s
useable? Have you ever tried to make a decent paper profile with a scanner as
some here have?
Tried the same thing with a recent version of SliverFast? I have, also a
printer profile created. Useless but created.
Do you own a Spectrophotometer? Want a printer profile, use that; right tool
for the right job.
