VueScan will also do this color profiling of printers for those of us so
unadventurous as to be using Windoze. Other apps will do it too, but for
much more money.
First, you have to profile the scanner with IT8 reflective target and
make a profile for it. Then you have VueScan send an IT8 target to your
printer, scan it in and make a printer icc profile. Pretty easy.
The thing with printer profiles is that they are ink and paper specific,
so one may end up with quite a few. Really careful people re-profile
with each new ink and each new batch of any paper, to correct for
manufacturing variations.
