I find it very surprising that printing from iPhoto or Preview doesn't
allow proper color management.

iPhoto is halfway decent for managing digital photos, but there is no
proper way to make the pictures print the way they look on screen.
Seems incredible that Apple would include an app like iPhoto with the
mac and not allow proper printing of color.

Seems bizarre to include color management (in the form of ColorSync) and
then not use it in the apps
Apps don't need to explicitly support ColorSync in OS X. The operating
system handles it in the printing system. You can set which profile will
be used for each device using ColorSync Utility.
Exactly!

Oh, and just as another neat little trick: when you use Preview for,
well, previewing (using the 'Preview' button in a print dialog) it will
even do soft proofs, which try to simulate what prints will look like
given the capabilities of the output device. There's a checkbox on the
lower left.


Only problem is that in Preferences in preview, under Color, it only
gives you Apple CMM or Automatic.

Err? Why is this a problem?

Leave the Mac take care of color, not the application. Open image in
whatever app (PS, Preview), go to print, under Presets, go to the roll
down menu until you get Colorsync, Color conversion: Standard.
