[scribus] icc printer profiles on windows

[Sam the Cat]

It helps a bit.  Let me ask the underlying question.  When I print pictures 
from Photoshop I tell the printer to "not manage colors" and I let photoshop 
adjust the colors appropriately and all works well.  Can I do the same in 
Scribus ?  I'd like color accurate renderings of my pictures which are now 
part of scribus documents.

Scribus seems to allow me to edit and render to the screen in a number of 
icc profiles (e.g. sRGB, ProPhoto ) but I am having trouble translating that 
to print.

As a backup I guess I could do everything in sRGB and then let the printer 
manage the colors hoping that it all works.  Thoughts ?

Cheers
Sam
