Martin, 

If I may clarify.
Print #1. Photoshop in Greyscale/Printer space greyscale/Printer 
Software color = green cast.
Print #2 Photoshop in RGB/Printer space Cone's Epson driver/Printer 
Software color = fairly, if not perfectly neutral in my book.

Just did 
Print #3 Photoshop in Greyscale/Printer space greyscale (it's 
default, no other option)Printer software had color on = print has 
green cast
Print #4 Photoshop in Greyscale/Printer space greyscale/Printer 
software set to black = neutral to cool print.

I liked RGB/specified driver/color on as best neutral.  Martin, in 
our case here it meant to GET a neutral I HAD to use color inks.

FWIW

the Epson inks. As noticed with your print #1 it can be difficult to 
get a truly neutral B&W print with color inks. The use of a good 
color profile like you did with #2 goes a long way to improving 
results. As odd as it may sound, I think you need better color 
management to 
print neutral B&W with color inks than you do for printing color. 
That neutral point is very revealing of slight color imbalances.
