As far as Color settings and profiles go in PS CS2 am I thinking about this the right way?

1) Color settings define the color space that the picture is working in. This settings DOES effect how the final print will turn out?
2) Assign Profile > This setting is used only for viewing the image on
the display monitor to be as accurate as possible. It does NOT have an impact on the final print?
3) Print Preview > I can assign my printer’s profile here…which is supposed to help print more accurate colors?

Not sure if I have this right or not…can somebody correct me if I’m wrong?
thanks
Brad

Colour settings are device independant, so Q1 is correct. I assume you mean monitor profile in Q2, these describe the colour characteristics of the specific device and shouldn’t have an impact on thr final print if you have calibrated correctly.
Profileing your printer should result in accurate printing. see http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps8_colour/ps8_1.htm
