To print using the color management features built into the HP Photosmart Pro B9100 series printer, you have to change settings in the printer driver and in the image editing software program. Here is one example of a typical print job using printer-based color management with Adobe Photoshop (version 7 or CS).

To print using printer-based color management

1.Open the file you want to print in Adobe Photoshop.

2.Select File, and then click Print with Preview in Adobe Photoshop. Make sure Show More Options is selected in the Print with Preview dialog box, and then select Color Management from the drop-down list.

3.In the Print Space area of the Print with Preview dialog box, select the same RGB color space setting you intend to use in the printer driver (Windows). In most cases this is sRGB or Adobe RGB. On a Mac, choose Printer Color Management instead.

4.Click Page Setup in the Print with Preview dialog box, set up the page for the current image, and then click OK.

5.Click Print.
