You'll just have to give it a try.  Often profiles for similar papers are at least within re-linearization range.  I highly recommend every B&W printer learn to linearize QTR profiles.  

Along that line, I tried Roy's new QTR StepWedge tool with a digital camera as opposed to a scanner, and it appeared to give the same results.  So, as long as you have CS3 or 4, there are several routes to linearizing profiles.  With the camera I just made sure there were no reflections off the glossy test strips, the target was within the central part of a moderate telephoto, and a small aperture was used to minimize light falloff. 

If you don't have a spectro, CS3 or CS4, my more manual way to linearize is at http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Making_B-W_ICCs-GrayCard.pdf

Yes, I think that is standard QTR practice.
