Hi :)

hmmm ... I don't to catch on how you want to profile a printer with a
camera? There are some hints in the Argyll documentation about how to
use a scanner as a poor man's colorimeter, but I guess this won't work
with a camera.
It does actually, provided the lighting is absolutely consistent between
photographing the IT8.7 target and the printer profiling target, and
provided the camera doesn't do anything "clever" to optimize the image.
See:

Needless to say the results don't compare with those produced with a
colorimeter or spectrophotometer - but then they don't with a scanner
either.
All the best,
