Use printer-based color management
The HP Photosmart Pro B9100 series printer offers built-in automatic color management
that is easy to configure. Printer-based color management produces attractive results
and should be adequate for many users.
Choose from the following printer driver color space settings based on the color space
used by your imaging device and your usage of ICC profiles. Change these settings on
the
Color
tab (Windows) or the
Paper Type/Quality
pane (Mac). For an example of how
to change these settings, see

Printer driver color space settings
Setting
When to use it
Colorsmart/sRGB
(Default setting)
The printer driver is set to Colorsmart/
sRGB by default because most imaging
devices, such as monitors, cameras, and
scanners, use sRGB. In this mode, the
printer converts colors from sRGB to the
printer ink colors.
Tip
Do not use this mode if you
are also using ICC profiles and
your software program to manage
color. This can decrease the color
fidelity since the colors are
converted twice—first by the
software program and then by the
printer.

or

You can set some imaging devices to
