I changed from windows XP to Windows 7 64 bits. Now the colormanagement doesn't seem to work. I'm printing in Photoshop CS5 and in my printer settings on the tab advanced settings I choose for ICM by hostsystem. The colors on my print are verry vivid, not at all as on my ICC callibrated screen.

You can also look at your printing Options:

Color Handling - this is the pop-up menu from which you choose the preferred method of managing color when printing from Photoshop CS5. By adopting this approach Adobe have separated the workflow aspects of printing from the media choices. It was first adopted in CS2, and subsequently modified slightly in CS3 and again in CS5. There are now only three color handling options. Also, note that each has its own associated preset configuration within the Print dialog thereby helping the user avoid erroneous settings.

1. Printer Manage Colors - with this option Photoshop instructs the printer to carry out the conversion between the document color space and the printer vendors preferred color space. Photoshop will not change (convert) the document if this option is selected. This is the most appropriate option when you don't have ICC media profiles for your particular printer/media combination.

2. Photoshop Manages Colors - with this option Photoshop will convert the document to the printer/media profile selected that you have selected in the Printer Profile pop-up. Many desktop printers are now supplied with generic media profiles, but much more accurate prints can be obtained if custom profiles are used. However, for this option to work correctly color management must be switched off in the printer driver.

3. Separations - this option is used when printing CMYK images where each channel is handled separately. If your document is RGB the option will be greyed out.

In CS4 and earlier we also had an option called No Color Management, but it has been completely removed from CS5. This option was intended for special cases such as printing custom profile targets that require document color management to be turned off in both Photoshop and the printer driver. In the absence of this option Adobe have published a Technote entitled No Color Management option missing when printing in Photoshop CS5 suggesting a number of alternative methods for printing profiling targets. Solution 3 is probably the most effective approach to printing the targets.

Printer Profile -
as its name implies this is the pop-up menu from which you choose the ICC profile associated with the printer/media combination you'll be using. This pop-up will only be active when Photoshop Manages Colors is selected in the Color Handling pop-up. By default, it will actually show the document color space, so make sure that you don't forget to choose the appropriate printer/media profile before hitting the Print button.

Rendering Intent and Black Point Compensation -
again, depending upon your choice in Color Handling one or both of these settings may be greyed out. Irrespective of whether it's greyed out or not, most desktop photo printers (inkjets) will ignore these two settings when Printer Manages Colors is selected from the Color Handling pop-up.

Proof Setup -
by default, this pop-up menu is greyed out and will only be activated when the Proof radio button is selected. As mentioned above, this option is normally only used when simulating or proofing other output devices such as a Press. The Simulate Paper Color and Simulate Black Ink work in the same way as they do in the Customize Proof Condition dialog described in Display Options, Section 4 above. However, it is important to note that they are tied to Proof printing, so don't expect them to be available when Document is selected.

Description -
this is a useful addition to the Print dialog in so far as it provides short explanations for each of the settings and options. The description itself is triggered when you hover the mouse over the various buttons and pop-up menus (e.g. Color Handling, Rendering Intent, Black Point Compensation, etc).

Oké, in that case I think it is your driver. It has had a patch on windows 7. Because the standard driver is only with basic functionality. You can find it on the HP support site. http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softw...

I hope this works. Good luck! Oké, in that case I think it is your driver. It has had a patch on windows 7. Because the standard driver is only with basic functionality.
