OK, I tried installing the Gray_Matte_Paper.icc profile as I usually do with profiles (Right click on profile, choose "install profile".  I can't find this profile in my list of profiles.  And yes, I did click on "other" to see the list of all installed profiles.

       Thanks, I saw those so maybe
 I'll try one.  
 I guess because of the ability to blend curves,
 a profile has to be made based on your paper and curve
 choices.  I must admit I forgot about the infinite choices
 based on blending curves.

    There are some straight line gray scale ICCs in the
 ICC folder that installs with QTR. These are generic. Use
 RGB_Matte_Paper and you can use "Simulate Paper &
 Ink". I think the idea though is that you proof with an
 ICC that you made for your own paper and ink. 
 
 Your results may vary, but I
 don't see a lot of value to soft proofing my black and
 white work. I've had better results focusing on the
 output end, in other words, learning how the image needs to
 look on my calibrated screen to get what I need out of the
 printer.
