Well, after an hour on with the Epson tech people this is what I found out:

On a mac (10.4.8) , you need to delete the printer using the printer utility and add it again.  I 
had to do it twice, and then the ABW was available for matte papers.

The 2nd level tech I spoke with said that the printer driver on a mac sometimes won't notice 
the change (despite the fact that the Epson Printer Utility *can* see it - they use different 
avenues for asking the printer thigns apparently).

Silly, but at least I'm back up and working.
