ICC in Windows XP fixed!

I just realize that the Epson driver does NOT install the additional ICC
profiles for different Epson photo papers. There's a separate PIM setup
program in the driver CD and it refuses to install the profile because I am
not using the older Photoshop 6 or 7! It's pretty stupid for the driver not
installing all the ICC profiles.

Copied the profiles to ICC profile folder and selected Premium Glossy Photo
Paper with great result. I am happy again.

Well, the Mac OS X driver is still screwy though.

ICC profiles aren't related to the Photoshop. It seems that it's a driver's
bug. Profiles should be installed automaticaly with the drivers.
You gave a good tip for R200 users.

Yea, upon looking at the complete title of the setup program closely, it is
called, "P.I.M. for Photoshop." It should really be part of the driver
installation.
