I can borrow a ColorMunki. But I don't know how to print the charts. I have seen it working and the chart was auto-magically printed from the Windows tools. I haven't looked into the CD, maybe the charts are just there... > I had very good succes making profiles for a cheap HP Photosmart C6280 > using the Munki (and Argyll), however with Gutenprint my results haven't > been as good...

Printing using gutenprint for the charts? Does that mean that we can print without gutenprint? ... I may be confused :) I have installed the gutenprint debian package, so I do print with gutenprint right? Do I have an option to not use gutenprint? > I haven't been able to invest as much time into this as I'd wanted, but > if you're patient I _might_ be able to give some more sensible tips in a > month or so (I hope). Great! Let's work in parallel. I'll send a set of charts to some Web service in France to get profiles. I'll report my finding. I'm all with you to create a simple and understandable procedure for printing on GNU/Linux. I did not thought it was so difficult to get right!
