I'm generally a "PS manages color" kind of guy, usually printing a single image on a page at a time rather than multiple image layouts (e.g. If you are happy with the LR print module (I've never personally liked it) then Q1 may provide little benefit. It therefore handles the color conversion, sets the media settings, resamples for both sizing and optimal dpi, and lastly puts its own sharpening sauce into the file before sending the data to the driver. However, Q1 also enforces the printer driver default setting (i.e ignores any custom preset or "last used settings" in the driver, and it lets you know when it has to change to the default), then apparently imposes/overwrites its own settings chosen in its own GUI into that default driver condition. Q1 hands off its image data conversions to the the printer driver with the customary OS/printer driver pipeline, IMO. To be clear, Q1 is providing application managed color, in much the same way as setting PS's "photoshop manages color".
