I can't print a grayscale with Qimage.  It will take the grayscale and
print as RGB.  I tried to print a grayscale with your gray-matte
profile and Qimage flashed an I/O error and shut down.  You can print
a grayscale with or without an RGB profile but it's converted to RGB.

The fix would be for Qimage to recognize and print grayscales.
