I am using PS 8 on a Powerbook G4, with other apps such as InDesign CS and i-photo, sometimes printing from a B/W laser printer and doing color with an Epson Stylus Photo RX 600, also scanning from the Epson and photos from two different brands of digital cameras (Casio pocket camera and Olympus standard size).
Color management is a PAIN in the patoot. Every different project demands figuring out a different workflow for color management.

Is color management improved by (easier with) later versions of PhotoShop and/or InDesign? That would be my only reason to upgrade, but if it works I would do it. The printer does fantastic work WHEN I GET THE WORKFLOW RIGHT for the particular project.

Probably won't help to upgrade as I'm sure colour management issues will be there regardless of PS versions.

Maybe invest in an all in one ( scanner/printer/monitor/camera ) calibration kit - that may be the way to go. Or get a pro to do this for you if the price is out of reach.

ouch they are NOT cheap.

You could buy what you need separately as I'm sure you won't use all of the kit.
