RE: [Digital BW] Followup: "Paper type" settings and third party papers . . .

The biggest problem in what you suggest would be getting the Epson source code.  If one could get it, then doing what you suggest should be a matter of programming.  And, of course, the Epson drivers must be protected by copyright.  All of which would add up to Epson having to make the modifications.
 
The fact that gimprint is open source is one of the big reasons for its popularity with folks that need to control printers.

Here's a question for the programming talent here. Can we use the driver's
"media type" selection space to insert a simple monotone linearization
curve? Do we know where those files are and whether there is a way to hack
them -- that is, put our own inputs into that space?
