My post only applied to Epson resin papers (premium semigloss and 
luster). Printing on EEM or cotton papers seem to result in color 
shifts across a greyscale wedge as you describe. However, I can get 
Epson resin papers to print neutral across the wedge with no 
metamerism, at least on my 2200.

First of all, printing B&W images in the RGB mode requires a spot-on 
custom profile for your specific printer, paper, ink and dpi 
combination; and your entire workflow should be color managed (color 
managing my workflow also helps to keep me from going crazy). 
Secondly, make sure you print in the Relative Colormetric rendering 
intent if you're using Photoshop. Other than those two things the 
setup is conventional.

Hope this helps. Take care
