Dave stop right there! Are you using Paul's curves or are you using QTR? If you are using 
Paul's curves then use Epson's print driver but...when you mention EvenTone that's part of 
the Gimp driver not Epson's print driver.

I'm going to take a wild guess that you are on a Mac and you chose the wrong print driver in 
the Printer Setup Utility.
