Digital BW, The Print

That is consistent with before.  My understanding is that black point
compensation requires software that can do it, eg Photoshop.  My guess is
that you are able to tell the OS which intent to use with the print driver
but it can't handle bkpt as you say.  When I was exploring ICC profiles with
a colour engineer I asked about the bkpt tag and whether it could/should be
included in a simple greyscale output profile. He said "you can put it in
but need an application that can make use of it".
