I can borrow a ColorMunki. But I don't know how to print the charts. I
have seen it working and the chart was auto-magically printed from the
Windows tools. I haven't looked into the CD, maybe the charts are just
there...

Sorry, I have difficult time understanding this. What do you mean
profile gutenprint? Printing using gutenprint for the charts? Does that
mean that we can print without gutenprint? ... I may be confused :) I
have installed the gutenprint debian package, so I do print with
gutenprint right? Do I have an option to not use gutenprint?

Great! Let's work in parallel. I'll send a set of charts to some Web
service in France to get profiles. I'll report my finding.

I'm all with you to create a simple and understandable procedure for
printing on GNU/Linux. I did not thought it was so difficult to get
right! I was spoiled by Lightroom :)
