Re: Color printing from Windows XP Photoprinting Wizard

This is the only HP site I could find adressing Windows XP AND the Officejet
G55xi. I would think that if the printer was restricted to sRGB, HP would
state it - and they don't. Where did you find out that this printer is
restricted to sRGB?

If the list means nothing, why does it print OK in "Manual" with the
Adobe1998 profile selected?

Nothing. Can you tell me where on this site there is a mention of color
profile when printing?

Sure your list includes a dozen profiles. This means nothing. This list is
not provided by HP for your printer.

"This printer can only use sRGB."

Not really. This printer also works with Adobe 1998, and ColormatchRGB
profiles. I found this out by trial and error. It works with those
either
from Windows XP Photoprinting Wizard or from Photoshop 6.0. But Windows
XP
color management must be set to "Manual" and the appropriate color
profile.

HP does not limit the printer to the sRGB profile, see:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=bpu01863&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&product=61740&lang=en

"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. "

There is no color profile listed on "Automatic". On "Automatic", Windows
automatically selects the best color profile from the list of associated
color profiles. My list includes a dozen profiles such as sRGB,
Adobe1998,
ColormatchRGB, etc.

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

is.

With Windows XP color management set to "Automatic" and using Windows

Photoprinting Wizard, I get prints with brownish/palish flesh tones.
If
I
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.
