[Leica] HP7960 now the HP8450

Folks -

Thanks to all who replied to my original post regarding settings and 
"color management" issues for the 7960 (in B&W, mostly.)

I realize that I probably should have been more specific about what I 
meant by these things.  I' m using Photoshop 7 on a Mac with OS 10.3.6. 
Yes, only the "59" ink cartridge is supposed to be tapped in 
"grayscale" mode; indeed this is the way it works if the printer is 
connected directly to the Mac and not through the Airport, as mine was 
for awhile.  I believe it was this setup that was causing my printer to 
tap the color carts even in grayscale mode.

In the case of B&W my specific questions are about "dot gain" settings 
and also the correct way to keep Photoshop from inserting another 
profile into the file on its way to the printer. My program doesn't 
have an option for "Printer Color Management" in the pulldown menu 
found in the "Print with Preview" page, so I've been using either "Same 
as Source" or "Postscript Color Management" even though I think this 
ain't no Postscript printer.
