Denton, 
First off I donot understand what RGB is the standard in color photography
means. Film is RGB but to print it on paper CMY must be used. Look at color
enlarger the filter factors are measured in CMY not RGB. You know
subtractive ver. additive color.... well anyway

Does the Inkjet printer you are talking about take CMYK ink????  Of course
it does, then all the things I have said are valid.....  If you are printing
RGB to a CMYK Printer you are using the wrong color gamut.... wrong gamut =
incorrect color on output. Press or printer does not matter its the INK that
does. The process of creating and outputting quality color on CMYK devices
are the same.
 
Besides I dont know of a RGB Color printer available on the market.
