Roger,

your setup sounds about correct. There are some issues with the sharing
of the printer to windows:

You have to set the curves directly in linux using lpoptions. You can
select the curves in the windows driver, but they don't have any effect
on the resulting print. Also the curves aren't updated in the windows
driver when you add new curves in Linux.

You can edit /etc/cups/lpoptions directly and add the options there. Use
'lpoptions -p <printername> -l' to list available options.

This is what my file looks like at the moment:

Default EpsonQuad ColorModel=QTRIP ripBlend=100 ripCurve1=2100-warm
PageSize=A4 InputSlot=Auto Resolution=1440x1440hq2 MediaType=Matte
stpDensity=2000

InputSlot=Auto is very important, otherwise windows won't print.

Density has to be set to 2.000 for the calibration procedure to work.

'Quadtone calibration' has to be set both in windows and in Linux when
you do the calibration.

There may be other options that only has an effect when set in either
windows or linux, but I haven't systematically gone through all of them
to find out which.
