You then print a copy of the card, scan it into the calibrated scanner and the software can then build a profile for your printer.

The only glitch here is that the process is dependent on the accuracy of your scanner....

I am tempted by this as a lot of my prints have a magenta tinge. That said I really need to take the time to ensure I've got the latest drivers etc...

I'd personally find a company that provides custom Icc profiles and get them to do it. I think you just printout a couple of test pages on your printer send it back to them and for around £20 they'll generate an icc profile.
