Haven't run an 1160 on windows. Mac version of driver does allow for 
settings to be saved.Any Windows users able to comment ?

When you have a custom profile built , all available colour management in 
the printer driver is switched off.This is an essential part of profiling 
and future workflow if using a custom profile.

However , each custom profile is printer/paper/inkset specific, and 
you'll have to choose the paper you wish to print on , and set the driver 
to the paper stock selected ( if available as a preset ) or the nearest 
equivalent in order to print the test patches and for subsequent printing.

Hope this helps rather than adds to the confusion :-)
