Skip,
   Thanks for the reply, but definitely not the answer I was hoping for!

When printing something like the QTR 21 step grey scale  file from PS using John Cone's instructions for QTR I always see non-linearity at the > 92% grey levels. John' printing directions provide the best way to circumvent the color mangement problems with osx and k7 inks.  I have solved this problem by using Parallels 7 and the QTR stand alone printing program for Windows.  I use Windows 7.  I get very linear responses with k7 inks using this approach.  It's not the cheapest fix but it does solve the linearity problem.  I got this idea from reading John's blog where he said that while they are Mac-centric they use Windows PC's to run their printers.
