I hope someone can help me with color settings. With early cataracts lending
a yellow cast to things I can often tell that something is not quite right
without knowing just how to correct it.

Today I have switched from an Epson printer to a Canon i960, and below are
my tools and present settings. I am not quite pleased with my first prints
and don't know if I have made obvious errors in setup. May I have
suggestions. I would welcome private discussion as well as group postings -
my email address is lpreuss at comcast dot net.

Mac OS 10.3.3
Photoshop 7.0
Color setting Adobe RGB (199
Pentax Optio S
Canon 1960 inkjet printer settings
Source space: sRGB IEC 61966-2.1
Print space profile: same as source
Print Color Options
Color correction: BJ Standard.
(Should I be using ColorSync here?)

Your only error is that you are setting the source space for the printer
to sRGB when you are actually working in Adobe RGB - you should normally
set the source space in the printer driver, to the working colour space
of Photoshop, and the Print Space profile to the Canon media ICC (this
will vary with the paper and inks) - though as you are not using
ColorSync in the printer driver final color options, it's probably safe
to set Same as Source instead
