Digital BW, The Print

I've downloaded and copied the UTR2 ICCs into my spool/drivers/color
folder, but I don't see these profiles offered to me in the Elements
print dialog when I choose "Printer Profile".  (I've opened and closed
the color settings dialog, as well as restarted my system)

Perhaps I'm missing something obvious here -- there seem to be other
.icc files that do not correspond to entries here, so perhaps I'm
missing an additional step.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
-Evan-

I do not have Elements 6, but in version 4 when the "Show More Options" 
is checked in the print preview the "QTR" profiles show, but they are 
divided into 2 groups.  The RGB versions are with most of the other 
ICCs, and the ICCs made with the standard Create ICC are in a second 
group near the bottom of the list.

If you still don't see them, try using Windows Explorer to see if they 
show up in the folder.

Yes, the profiles do show up in the .....drivers/color directory, but
I don't see them in the printer profiles list within the elements
print dialog.

I tried the alternate method of installation I've read about
elsewhere, that of right-clicking on the .icc file and selecting
"Install Profile", but that produces an error "This is not a valid
color profile".  (I neglected to add that this is for an R220 printer)

I'm quite confident that the files were not corrupted during download,
as I tried this on two separate machines, but just for reference, here
are the sizes of two of the files:

06/06/2008  08:03 AM             1,952 R220_EEM_MHW_G22_Std_CC-0.icc
06/06/2008  08:07 AM             1,944 R220_Kirk_PGPP_G18_RPM.icc

Perhaps this is a windows problem and not a Photoshop one.

Be sure you're in what was the first dialog box -- the "Print Preview" -
- and not the various Epson driver boxes.  That Print Preview is part 
of the Adobe software.  These Adobe previews in both PS and Elements, 
at least since I've been using them, recognized these ICCs.  Other 
programs may not.  If the newest Elements does not it's a problem that 
Roy will probably want to look at.  Again, I don't have Elements 6 to 
test it.

I think you previously mentioned that you've refreshed the PS Elements 
ICC list by clicking on Edit>Color Settings.  If ICCs are put into the 
folder after PS/Elements is started, the list does need to be refreshed 
this way (the soft proofing routine does the same thing).
