Use printer-based color management

The HP Photosmart Pro B9100 series printer offers built-in automatic color management that is easy to configure. Printer-based color management produces attractive results and should be adequate for many users.

Choose from the following printer driver color space settings based on the color space used by your imaging device and your usage of ICC profiles. Change these settings on the Color tab (Windows) or the Paper Type/Quality pane (Mac). For an example of how to change these settings, see To print using printer-based color management.
