I've just ordered one which should arrive in the next few days... is
there anything special to care about when profiling this machine?

Not that I can think of; there are a couple of software bugs in the 
same size Canon printer, but the Epson 3800 seems to do just what I 
would expect it to, and profile without any special considerations.

I am starting to profiling my papers for this printer right now. Do
you still need the XLM? 

I remember there was a thread on this group outlining the workflow to
be used to incorporate the extended greys into the color profile but
can't find it.. Does anyone remember the thread?

I creatd a profile using the extended greys, made a test and it seems
to work greatly. Now, can this profile be used both for color and b&w?
or should I use the readings from the colored patched only to build a
new profile for use in color prints?

Michele,  
yes you can use it for both color or b&w. Of corse using always the 
paper type and settings you printed the targets with.
