I have the same issues working with an HP 3700 Color Laser Jet. I have to manually boost the color density from +2 to +3 from the printer's control panel to get just useable results. None of the color management combinations worked well at all (very orange cast was typical of most) and using the density boost with no color management has so far been the only acceptable compromise. Oddly enough an old laptop with Win98 prints a beautiful vibrant picture from MS Publisher (with no manual boosting of the color density). I have found no reason for the difference yet. I do need to do some more testing. Such as printing from other apps besides Scribus on the Linux system (which uses CUPS and the NT PS PPD) as well as trying the PS driver on the Win98 system (it installs the PCL driver by default) to see if HP is favoring the PCL driver.
