When I printed it thru Spyder Print it brought up the Printer Dialog box (Epson R1800, PC). In the advanced frame I turned on ICM, clicked "Show all profiles" and loaded the Spyder Print profile that I created; it came out reddish. Maybe this was not correct if Spyder Print assigns the profile in some other way. The Spyder Proof image that I tagged Adobe RGB was "Saved As" in a different folder; it printed correctly using QImage. By savng it in a different folder I should not have messed up Spyder Print.

That's not the right way to print from the SpyderProof-View screen in Spyder3Print.
S3P itself applies the profile for you; if you apply it "again", then you're getting
double profiling and that's why your print is wrong.

From the SpyderProof-View screen, the only thing you do is click Print, and
then set up the printer driver -exactly- as you did when you printed the target:
color management must be disabled in the printer driver. (Meaning, for you:
Epson Color Controls (not ColorSync), and "Off (No Color Management)" in
Printer Settings.
