colour management -- weird problem

Hi everyone,

I have this weird problem when printing a photo from Photoshop.

This is my configuration:
Leopard
Photoshop CS3
profiled and calibrated monitor
Canon ip8500
custom-built ICC profile for the brand of paper I'm using

When I print from PS I have PS do the colour management, I select the custom-built profile and in the printer dialogue box I turn off the printer's colour management. The results of the prints, however, are horrible: there's a magenta cast and skin tones are oversaturated, which suggests to me that some kind of double colour management is taking place.
The weird thing about this is that when I use exactly the same procedure in Lightroom, the prints are spot on!

What am I doing wrong in PS?

I would appreciate your help,

johan

johan:
Have you assigned a color profile to your photo?
I use sRGB IEC61966-2.1
Use Print with Preview.
Choose Page Setup and choose your printer name.
After hitting print you will get a print window where you can select your paper profile.
