Apply ICC Profile when printing with GDI+ and using PrintWinAPI

[Jardz]

Hello All,

I've been looking at using PrintWinAPI.au3 to print images.

Many thanks to the excellent thread started by GRS (link below) which got me started.

My issue is when I print, any device ICC assigned to the printer in windows is not used?!

I'm starting to believe I need to apply the ICC to the image before sending to the printer.

The following article suggest to me that it's possible but not simple: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317825

Has anyone looked into this before? I can't find any existing thread that covers this.

Many thanks

Below is the print function I'm using for testing; you need to change the printer name.
