Digital BW, The Print

I'm Mac, Intel, 10.5.5

Is anyone grappling with the fact that in CS4 it is not possible to select "No Color 
Management" when printing grayscale files? And, even though "No Color Management" is 
available when printing RGB files it is not possible to print "black & white" RGB files to ABW if 
"No Color Management" is selected. It seems that the only time "No Color Management" is 
available is printing an RGB file and selecting the "Color" print mode in the basic printer 
settings box and using any of the color mode drop down choices including "Off - No color 
management"

A practical problem I'm having as a result is making grayscale, ABW profiles for my Epson 
printers (9800/7800):

Typically I'd use an untagged, grayscale target image to make a black & white profile (for 
ABW, not QTR) and then select "No Color Management" and then print using ABW. Since 
Photoshop CS4 won't allow me to chose "No Color Management" with a grayscale file I'm left 
with only two choices: "Printer Manages Color" or "Photoshop Manages Color." Intuitively 
neither choice seems a good one but, since letting Photoshop manage color is the wrong 
choice, it seems letting the printer manage color wins by default.
