Is anyone getting accurate colors printing with LR2 and the HP B918' printer on a Mac?

When I select a color profile in the LR2 Print module under Color Management, and then select the Print button (which opens my print driver), my print driver automatically selects Colorsync in the Color Matching tab. It is grayed out so there is no way for me to change this to Vendor Matching (I read that Vendor Matching turns color management off in the B918' printer driver so there is no double color profiling).

Similarly, when I select Printer Manages Colors in LR2, the Vendor Matching option is automatically selected in my printer driver, so I can't select a color profile!

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Peter

I'm a windows user, but the problems may be similar as on the Mac. The B918' tends to revert to standard settings whenever you change one of them. In LR I always go to the page setup in the lower left hand corner first, which usually takes care of the problem.Nevertheless, when you hit the print button in LR, double check the setup before you actually start printing
Here's an interesting link about some of these problems
