LR uses ProPhoto for editing (in essence) - a wide gamut space. For printing, it will use the profile you select from the pop up for color printing if you want LR to manage the colors (recommended). And it took me awhile to realize that you let the printer manage the print for ABW mode - the profiles one downloads from the paper manufacturers are for color only. LR uses a very simple color management experience compared to PS, and thank goodness for that. It does not have soft proofing, and that is something we are thinking about, but many demanding printers get as good a prints from LR as from PS - and without all the clutter and confusion. PS printing, IMHO, is a pretty lousy experience.
