You can use Qimage, but you have to output to file rather than printer. 
Qimage remains limited to only 8 bits per channel output, even in the 
latest version. Mike Chaney remains adamant there is no need for it. You 
should set the printer ICC to QTR_RGB_Matte_Paper (or ..._Photo_Paper if 
using lustre/glossy paper of course) - some older versions of Qimage 
have problems with the QTR_Gray_ profiles) and probably set the target 
ppi to 360.
I usually have sharpen set to 4 rather than the default 5, but thats 
just personal preference
I can't help with which curves to use, sorry, as I have no experience 
with either that printer or that inkset. You'll probably eventually need 
to create your own.
