Steve's messages on that subject start around 15-11-2005. I 
think the same time QTR got his profile creation 
application. There must be a place where the workflow is 
described but if you check the Quadtone Rip profile creation 
map + the manual and forget the linearisng as ABW doesn't 
allow that but use the profile creation by printing targets 
with ABW and make a profile based on that, you are halfway. 
Then apply that B&W paper profile in PS for printing and for 
the softproof, color in the softproof is only showing what 
the color setting in ABW was when you made the 
target>profile so doesn't influence the print color, for 
that you need the same color setting in ABW again. You need 
to have an embedded profile in your greyscale images while 
editing the file, Gamma 2.2 or QTR Gray Lab is best. With 
greyscale RGB files a color profile like AdobRGB which is 
2.2 G too. Monitor calibrated too. This is a profiled 
workflow but for greyscale in this case.
