"Let InDesign Determine Colors"

InDesign CC on a Mac.

In Print>Color Management there is an "Option" of "Let InDesign Determine Colors". Presumeable, the alternative would be to let the printer driver take over. However, I've yet to find a combination of settings that make anything else available. Clicking the downward arrow shows a menu containing only one option: "Let InDesign Determine Colors".

How can I get other choices?

How can I get other choices?

If the Print driver is PostScript you’ll get this choice:

But in either case the Print Driver’s settings located under Printer... would affect the output

And just as a FYI, the same menu in Illustrator shows the PostScript Option, but grayed out.

It’s grayed out if the Printer is not postscript. Here it’s grayed out with native Epson driver, but not with a software RIP

Directly from InDesign - you can't. Export your work to pdf and print from Acrobat.

Color Management settings usually are located in Print>Advanced dialog window (Advanced Print Setup).

Not sure about exact location on Mac, though.
