Douglas,

Why do you say "do not check "preview before printing" ever"? The
colors shown may be horrid due to the printer driver's inability to
properly handle the image data processed through the custom ICC
profile, but you can still check page setup to confirm that settings
are correct before committing to print (has saved me a lot of wasted
paper and ink!).

I agree with your (don't) Enable ICM/print type none advice. However,
I must confess I really don't understand what they do. Does anyone out
there know?
