It went through calibration just fine.

I just rebuilt my computer about a month ago and downloaded the software there. It works fine on my Vista machine for monitor calibration. I have not tried to use it to calibrate a printer. I suggest getting a professional printer profile made. I got one for only $40 from John Watts at <a href="http://www.wattscolorlab.com/customprinterprofiles.html" rel="nofollow">wattscolorlab.com</a>. The custom profile is far more accurate than any profile I have ever been able to make on my own. Well worth the $40.

It seems Monaco/X-Rite prefer to support their newer stuff at the expense of us Optix-XR users. That being said, their new--and humorously named--<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00169N0BK?ie=UTF8&tag=alanhaycom-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00169N0BK" rel="nofollow">ColorMunki Photo Profiler</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=alanhaycom-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00169N0BK" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> seems like an interesting product.
