I need an ICC profile for my Hewlett-Packard Photosmart 1115 printer. 
I will use it in Photoshop 7 to color manage my digital workflow,
which includes a Nikon D-100 camera shooting in the Adobe RGB (1998)
space.

bif54321-ga,

HP Photosmart 1115 Printer uses the standard sRGB profile for color
management. If this satisfies you, let me know so I can post it as an
official answer.

Thank you Tox-ga.  But actually I need the profile, not just the name
of it.  Thanks again.

bif54321-ga, the sRGB color profile is distributed with the Windows
operating system. On Win 9x/Me, you can find it in your
\Windows\System\Color\ directory. The file is called 'sRGB Color Space
Profile'.
Or, just search your hard disks for file starting with 'sRGB'.

 You can tell your Photosmart printer to use this profile as the
default by following the given steps :

 - Click Start Menu > Settings > Printers
 - A window appears, which shows your Photosmart printer.
 - Right click your printer and select 'Properties'
 - On the window that appears, select the color management tab.
 - This tab shows the default color profiles associated with your
printer, in a text box at the bottom.If this textbox is empty, it
means that no color profiles are associated with the printer.
 - To associate a profile, click on the 'Add...' button at the bottom.
 - From the list of color profiles that appear, select 'sRGB Color
Space Profile' and click Add.
 - The window will now show the selected profile as the default color
profile.
 - Click 'OK' to apply the settings.
 - Your color profile is installed !

Hope this helped.

Thanks for your answer.  What are the proper settings in Photoshop to
make use of the sRGB color profile for printing?  Can I use a
different profile, or am I stuck with the sRGB, which I understand is
narrower than, for example, Adobe RGB (1998)?

Since your HP Printsmart printer is able to display colors in the sRGB
space only, it would probably not do you any good trying to change the
color space to a larger one. At the most, you will end up with some
weirdly colored printouts.

The following essay will provide you with step by step instructions
for setting up your printer profile in Photoshop 7.
