I have a canon i9900 and am trying to print sRGB .jpgs onto red river satin paper via photoshop 7. Problem is I get a magenta cast when trying to use ICC profiles.

Work flow is like this:

1. open .jpg in photoshop, specify sRGB working space as embedded in jpg (I use adobe now but these were older pictures)
2. print with preview
color management:
source space = document
print space: rr upsatin i9900 (supplied ICC from Red River), choose relative colorimetric, black point compensation
3. click "Print"
4. Printer box comes up- click "properties", on main tab color adjustment set to "manual" and print type set to "none"

Then print and the magenta cast can be seen in the preview, before even printing out. Monitor is calibrated. Mostly the reds and oranges have too much magenta. Curiously enough I don’t have the problem if print space is set to "printer color management" but that defeats the purpose of using an ICC profile ..what gives?

Unless you did not mention everything that you do in your work flow description I see a few possible omissions:
In the print with preview dialog are you first selecting ‘page setup’ and making sure that your i9900 is the selected printer.
Then the same thing after clicking on the ‘print’ button. Also, I don’t see where you have selected the paper in the printer driver – after selecting your rr paper in PS Red River probably tells you to select something like glossy photo paper in the printer driver. In the printer driver selections you will also need to select ‘no color management.’

Yeah, the i9900 is selected and everywhere it gives me the chance I have "Glossy Photo Paper" selected and ICM unchecked, Color Adjustment = Manual and Print Type = None. I do not see however where I can explicitly select ‘no color management.’ I thought that having ICM uncheck and print type None was effectively doint that.

I have an i9900 printer but am currently using it on a Mac (you are probably using yours on a Windows machine). I can’t imagine, however, that the printer driver options would be that different. When printing to the i9900 clicking the print button in PS brings up the printer driver dialog box. In that window there are numerous selectable options including Quality and Media, Color Options, etc, etc. In the Color Options choice there should be an additional option to select ‘Color Correction – None.’ If you don’t find that option I guess a Windows user will have to help out!

I have been following this thread+responses. It does sound like you are doing everything correctly. Have you successfully printed on any media other than the red river satin? Note that at least one poster had similar persistent color cast problems on an i9900 but a replacement was OK.

This pdf pretty much sums up how to set CM with a Canon printer: http://www.qualiteitems.com/canon.pdf

And just a sanity check: for sure in the printer driver all Effects are disabled?

If I had this problem, I would probably try reinstalling the printer driver, rebooting between uninstall/reinstall.
