Andrew,
To be clear about my ipf8300 woes, it seems to be a color management conflict with Yosemite that affects the iPF driver but not other drivers like the Epson 3880 (or my Canon Pixma Pro 100). The insidious part is that the driver is not crashing or failing to print. It's just a color management weirdness, and it is affecting apps that used to be able to correctly highjack the printer pipeline away from the MAC OS to ensure double profiling wasn't happening (e.g. PS, InDD, ACPU, CSU, etc). As of Yosemite, I'm not sure I can say the iPF driver is double profiling with the printer profile as we used to see. The error looks more like application managed color is being redirected by the driver to crunch the source image through sRGB or something before handing off to the printer. So, it doesn't look like the classic double profiling and subsequent dark color shifted output we tend to see with double use off the printer profile. It looks more like double profiling with some other source profile (sRGB or monitor profile) first then handing off to the printer profile. Anyway, again, I did a complete reinstall of the iPF driver (working with Canon support to make sure I trashed all the right stuff before reinstall) and I haven't managed to solve the issue yet. And again, the Canon printer plugin is unaffected. It's just when trying to use the regular iPF driver pathway that I've lost control of color management yet again
Twenty+years into ICC profiled workflow. and we are still getting two steps forward two steps back every time a new OS version comes along!
cheers,
Mark
