I am strictly a user. Any printer setup has to be program related. I use 
both MCC > printer and HP device manager to check it. I know nothing of 
color profiles. The install program needs to do what is necessary to 
make it work properly. At this point I am forced to stay with ML until I 
have at least finished my printing. One other related printer problem in 
Mageia is that when I turned the printer off the program tries to reboot 
and freezes up. I have to either remove the usb plug or close my open 
programs.
Thanks, Gary
