I have just run :
1. targen -v  -d4 -l260 -f2028 PrinterB
2.printtarg -v -s -iSS -pA4R PrinterB
3.scanin -v -c PrinterB1.tif PrinterB1.cht scanner.icm PrinterB
scanin -v -ca PrinterB2.tif PrinterB2.cht scanner.icm PrinterB
4.copy PrinterB.ti3 PrinterBt.ti3
5.colprof -v -qm -b -cmt -dpp PrinterBt
all the commands are from examples.

Hi,
        at the colprof step you get something like:

Profile check complete, peak err = 91.558309, avg err = 25.405694, RMS = 
29.456946

which (as is mentioned in the documentation) indicates something
has gone badly wrong. Typically this might indicate that the device
values are all jumbled up, or that the CIE values are completely
bogus. Perhaps the scanner recognition has failed. Did you check
the scanin diagnostic output, to check that the charts were properly
recognised ? - e.g:

scanin -v -dipn -c PrinterB1.tif PrinterB1.cht scanner.icm PrinterB diag1.tif
scanin -v -dipn -ca PrinterB2.tif PrinterB2.cht scanner.icm PrinterB diag2.tif

cheers,
        Graeme Gill.
