Re: Color printing from Windows XP Photoprinting Wizard

This printer can only use sRGB.

What is the "Default color profile listed under Manual" and does it match
the highlighted one listed for "Automatic"? Maybe this is where the problem
is.

set Windows XP color management to "Manual" (say sRGB), I get good
colors.
Any idea why?

Thanks

Further to my post:

When I state "Windows XP color management set to "Automatic" ", I mean: "
Start-Printer&Faxes-HP Officejet-Properties- Color Management -
Automatic".
All the necessary color profiles associated with my HP printer (such as
sRGB,
Adobe RGB1998, etc) are correctly listed in the Color Management screen.

My printer is a HP Officejet G55 xi. The printer driver comes from
Windows
XP.
