How to make printer settings for canon pixma ip4000

[liamtoh]

I work with Indesign CS and use a canon pixma ip4000 printer. I have set the color settings to "europe prepress defaults".
When i print to pdf (distiller) all is fine, but when i try to print to my printer the output is set to "composite rgb" and i think i need "composite cmyk" but this option is greyed-out. Under color management i can select a lot of profiles but not "Document CMYK - Euroscale Coated v2"...so if i print the colors come out wrong. In fact, i am not even able to print red...it comes out brown.
What am i doing wrong?

ok, so i found this out: when trying to add the Euroscalecoated.icc file to my printer it says it is not supported by my printer...i guess i need to select another profile but which one??

If the printer is not a postscript printer, it only recognizes rgb information and ID will not allow cmyk, since the printer does not recognize such info.

The most common printer profile for desktop inkjets is sRGB, but you should look up the one for your particlular machine.

Yes thanks, i think that´s the problem but i can´t find out the profile to use.
There must be someone using a canon pixma4000? thanks!
