A number of forums mention using the "null transform" approach in PS CS5.
This involves turning off Black Point Compensation and setting rendering
intent to Relative Colorimetric in the color management settings.  Open the
chart and assign a generic profile to it such as Adobe RGB.  The profile
must be assigned to the chart...the chart must not be converted.  The chart
is then printed with Photoshop Manages Printing in the Print Dialogue Box
and the same profile is assigned (in this case Adobe RGB). Intent is set to
Relative Colorimetric with no BPC.  Color management is disabled in the
print driver.

As I understand it, the print engine sees that the intent matches the
assigned profile and no changes are made as the chart is passed to the
printer driver.

Quite a few posters have said that this works seamlessly.  It makes sense to
me and the charts produced seem to match the ACPU charts with regards to
colour perfectly.

I'd appreciate anyone's opinion of this method.

There was some suggestion that creating a custom page size with zero
margins avoids the problem. I've no idea if this would help though.
