How to Get a list of Printer Color Profiles

[Dimatokis]

Hi!

How I can get a list of printer color profiles? Same as in the print dialog. It is possible?

I don't see a list of the print color profiles exposed in the document model (maybe it's under application?). I was only able to get the current active profile

NOTE: Only works if "Color Handling" is set to "Photoshop Manages Colors" in the print settings. Otherwise the printer profile is false, and therefore will throw an error.

Code: Select all

// Get document Action Descriptor

var ref = new ActionReference();

ref.putEnumerated( charIDToTypeID("Dcmn"), charIDToTypeID("Ordn"), charIDToTypeID("Trgt") ); 

var desc = executeActionGet(ref);



// Get printer output object

var printerOutput = desc.getObjectValue( stringIDToTypeID('printOutput') );



try {

    var printerProfile = printerOutput.getString( stringIDToTypeID('name') );

    alert( printerProfile );

} catch(err) {

    alert( 'Set Color Handling to Photoshop Manages Colors to get the current Printer Profile' );

}
