Hi Carl.... as I said in an earlier post, I'm pretty new to digital printing, color 
management, etc.  And so I can't really participate int he discussion at the level you 
have been having it on this forum.  But.... here are your answers:

1. Papers used were Epson Premium Glossy and a couple of prints on Epson Enhanced 
Matte.

2. I tried various settings.  At first I simply tried printing in color using the profiles 
supplied with the printer.  I selected the correct paper profile in proof setup.  In the 
printer driver the source profile was the same as that selected in the proof setup and 
no color management was selected.  When I saw that these prints did not appear 
neutral I repeated everything as before except selected Black instead of Color.  When 
this is done, as Steve Kale mentioned, "No Color Management" is not an option.

3.  Finally, after reading steve's post last night, I printed a 21 step file that I 
downloaded.  This was done using the BO workflow specified by Seve, i.e, Assign 
Profile Gray Gamma 2.1, in the Print Preview select "Same as Source," and then in 
Printer driver select Black.

hope this helps and that soon we can be printing black only with this printer :-)
