When printing with an ICC profile you need to make sure your 'grey' file is
an RGB file and you print through the profiled path exactly as you would for
a colour image.

It is not unusual, even with a good paper profile, to find a residual color
cast when printing a colour neutral file. In general, colour printers have
not been a good way to attack monochrome except by using grey inks, RIPS
etc. The new Epson R2400 is however very good with its standard inkset.
