RGB or CMYK profile?

[Lee8x]

hi all

I need to know if my printer uses RGB or CMYK profile. I have 2 Hp printers, one inkjet and one color laser. I know inkjet (should) use RGB profile, but my problem is the color laser. I wish to confirm definitevly if it uses rgb or cmyk (since many lasers uses CMYK, yet not all)

my model is HP CP1515n

This is mainly for calibrating the printer for spoof printing.

I tried to search on the web but havent found much

and the providers who offer calibration service tell me to confirm with manufcaturer.... so to summarize, is there a way to know any printer what type of profile does it use? (and if it is able to load a custom profile?)

I'm running both win XP and Win 7

thanks

Both the inkjet and laserjet printers have CMYK inks or toners, but the drivers for both expect RGB data (actually sRGB).  

Perhaps someone else here could give insight about applying color management profiles, that is outside my expertise.

Hi Bob

thanks for your reply.

so what are the printers that use cmyk drivers?

Since I've posted this question I found in forums that you can "test" to see if printer profile/driver uses cmyk or rgb by printing a grayscale image without color correction, and if it has color tints, it's RGB. if not its CMYK.

but mine printed purly grayscale with no color tint at all...so according to the test it "has to be" cmyk
