For Photoshop 5.5:

People with a Mac should check the Printer Color Management box.
People with Windows should not.

That's right. As far as we can tell, selecting Printer Color Management
in the Print Space popup in PS6 is the same as checking the box in PS5.

No, it's not a profile, it appears that this is their way of providing the
older capability (which basically means that color adjustment will happen
in the printer driver itself; it tells Photoshop not to apply a profile before
sending the data to the printer driver).
