Answering my own question, the HP B8550 seems to be an RGB printer. I
downloaded previously made profiles for my printer from here:
http://www.johannesdejong.com/Default.aspx?tabid=361&EntryID=15
I then typed the following:
./targen -v -d4 -f508 -c ~/path-to/PS B8500-Advanced Photo (Best).icc
HP-B8500-508-patches
which produces:
==> targen: Error - ICC profile doesn't match device!
Whoops! The ICC profile that I was using to pre-condition my testing
didn't work (I'm using Canon Matte paper for my print, hence why I'm
profiling the printer when there are already profiles for selected
paper types). So I guess it isn't a CMYK printer.
Trying
./targen -v -d2 -f508 -c ~/path-to/PS B8500-Advanced Photo (Best).icc
HP-B8500-508-patches
works and produces the following the .ti1 file, so I guess the B8550
is an "RGB" printer.
I then go ahead and do
./printtarg -v -iCM -T -h -p 330.2x482.6 HP-B8550-508-patches
to make a print-sheet for 13 x 19 inch Canon Matte paper.
