Steve,

I've never seen that behavior before with IP.  I have noticed that I get better B&W prints from IP though when I use grayscale files than when I use RGB and print with the gray profiles.

I have a few questions about your setup if you don't mind...

What OS and version of IP are you running?

How are you converting to B&W in photoshop?  Are you converting to grayscale or perhaps using a duotone conversion?

What file format are you saving in?  psd?  tif?

What are your settings on the system and bitmap tabs of the color management dialog box in IP?

In the IP install directory, there should be a file named ip_config.  What are the contents of that file?
