It turns out I'm getting nice prints even with the driver just set to Color
Controls.  In short, this approach appears to be amenable to even the
simplest workflow, probably on any 3 - 4 pl Epson printer.  

I've used standard MIS and Epson densities, so it's not all that surprising.
The maximum Lab B=1 on Premier Art Smooth BW with any of the workflows is
what is surprising.  I was aiming at the high end, but I seem to have also
stumbled onto "EZ-Carbon" for any Epson hextone, k2 or k3 printer.  (Got to
try this on a Canon printer.  Carbon should not be bothered by the thermal
head heat.)
