Difference between ink assignment in the Print Environment and printer

Problem/Question
In some Print Environments, the ink assignment shows only CMYK although the printer has additional spot color channels (e.g. orange, blue, green, light colors etc.). Additionally, there is the problem that no Cost Calculation is performed for these channels.

This problem comes from the driver used in the Print Environment. Usually this is a Contone driver

Solution/Work-Around
Add a "Halftone" Print Environment or a ink setup according to the printer
