I'm not sure I understand that last paragraph  "it works fine".  What
works and what doesn't??

But anyway, the other thing idea is: are you applying a profile in PS?   When
you Print with Preview -- the bottom under Color Management should NOT
have Proof set, and Profile should say Same As Source.

Also for the profile edits I assume you are using upper case and you are
re-running Run-Quad-Profile.  The profile should end up with a 
name ending in "calib".
