Until everybody has the same camera/monitor/printer/paper/ink/light combination your money is pretty much safe dude!
Most printers use CYMK inks but do the conversion through the drivers or hardware form your RGB colour space, be it S or adobe or whatever.
If you are doing pre-press work, i.e. authoring your own coffee table book (I wish!)
Then you need to be working in LAB or CYMK, but your print company will provide you with the profiles to soft proof your images to their needs. If they are any good
TBH Colour management is blackest of arts as far as digital imaging is concerned. If what you get out of your printer is close to your monitor output then all is good!
