Access to Color Management Options

[MPH25]

How do I access the option to turn off color management for the printer to allow another application to manage the colors?

@MPH25, Welcome to the HP Support Community!

Color management options in the printer software allow you to select the specific color space that the printer will use to interpret image data. The default setting is ColorSmart/sRGB, which is the standard color space for virtually all cameras, scanners and monitors, as well as web page and office documents. Another option, AdobeRGB, is commonly used in high-end digital photography. Selecting AdobeRGB will cause the printer to interpret all colors as being in the Adobe RGB color space.

Managed by application essentially turns off printer driver-based color management. Selecting this option tells the printer that incoming color is already color-managed, and the driver is not to do any color conversions to the image data.

To turn this feature OFF,  go to Devices and printer > Right-click on the printer > Printer properties > Color management

Alternatively, you may Open the File you want to print > Click on file > print > properties > color > color management.

Let me know how this goes.

Thanks - but when I do this I only get three tabs in the dialogue box - General, Hardware and web services.  

If I double left click the printer and select Customize your printer I do get to a Color management tab.

However, I still don't see how to turn off the management by the printer. Can you elaborate please?
