Digital BW, The Print

Folks - Help.  MacPro, MAC OSX 10.5.*, Epson 3800.  Latest driver, I believe.  Have an 8-bit RGB, but B&W image that I am attempting to print.  To get a color closer to my platinum-palladium prints, I went into Hue/Saturation in Photoshop (CS3), checked colorize, took Hue to 35 and Saturation to 5.  Resulted in a rich looking color on screen.  
 
I then attempted to print using Photoshop CS3 - Photoshop manages colors selecting a profile for the paper that I made using Datacolor Spyder3 Print, with the extended gray set.  In the Epson driver, chose "No color management."  Instead of printing, the printer reported that it was receiving data, and periodically, the printhead would make a run across the paper but not lay down any ink.  Just for fun (and to make sure the computer and printer were talking to each other),  I left every setting the same, reloaded the same piece of paper, and selected in Photoshop "Printer manages color" and in the Epson Driver "Advanced B&W" with a selection of enhanced warm tones that I like.  Printed like a charm, quickly, accurately, but not as richly as I think the profiled print should have been. 
 
To be sure, I had printed the Datacolor test page after creating the ex gray profile and it printed beautifully.  Anyone run across this problem?  Thx.  Jim
