The XTension for 4.0.4 is called PrintRGB XT and is available at the Quark
download section on their web site <www.quark.com>. However, I think you
would be better off downloading the free update to QuarkXPress 4.1, which
has the feature built-in and does not require the XT.

The Print RGB XT ONLY allows XPress to print RGB (rather than CMYK), the
other options are part of the PDF Filter XT and the PS print driver. I
haven't had any trouble exporting to PDF with the 4.0.4 version or the
newest version that comes with the 4.1 update.

You don't need to keep transfer functions unless you actually set them in
Photoshop. Making a clipping path does not necessarily require transfer
functions. However, having the setting on should not affect anything since
you are (most likely) not using any transfer functions, so I would not
change the setting.
