You would have to build your own. I believe you said you had a  
Datacolor spectro, so you should be in a position to build profiles  
including the extended grays. That won't magically solve the "only one  
gray ink" issue that model has, but combined with the other factors I  
noted it should produce reasonable matching.

However, from your other posts, a "B&W through a color ICC workflow"  
process does not seem to be your goal, so I dont know how much time  
you want to spend on that workflow, or that printer model.
