Looks like our troubles are over with printing targets without color management in Photoshop CS5.. Adobe released a new app that does that... print without color management for both Mac and Windows

Install
After you download the appropriate file, double click the zip or dmg file.  
-- Mac OS: drag the Adobe Color Printer Utility.app file to the Applications folder or your preferred folder.  
-- Windows: choose to extract all the files. After extraction is complete, drag the Adobe Color Printer Utility to your preferred folder.  

Run the Utility
1. Double-click the Adobe Color Printer Utility to open the application. 
2. Select a TIFF image to open. This utility only works on TIFF files.  
3. Choose File > Page Setup. Select your paper size and orientation.  
Note: For most target files, you need to print the image at its original size for it to be properly scanned by the profiling device. 
4. Choose File > Print.  
5a. Mac OS 
    a. Expand the Print dialog box by clicking on the arrow next to the Printer pop-up menu.  
    b. Use the pop-up menu in the middle of the dialog box that is initially set to Layout, to locate the dialog box that contains options for paper type and color management. The menu options and locations for these options change depending on your printer driver. 
    c. Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling.  
    d. Set Color Management to Off. Some printer drivers turn off Color Management automatically. 
5b. Windows 
    a. In the Print dialog box, select your target printer and select Properties. 
    b. Set Paper Type to the paper that most closely resembles the paper you're profiling. 
    c. Set Color Management to Off. 
    Note: In some printer drivers, you may need to select Advanced or Custom to locate these options.

Yes, this utility will print any of the Tiff targets from the target folder of Spyder3Print. But that's not an issue for most users since the standard targets print directly from our application just fine; it's only if you want to print CD/DVD targets, snapshot printer target, or specially grouped targets for wide format printers that you would need this option, and I'm not sure how well it works with custom sizes, though it prints to standard sizes reasonably well, though not with much of a preview...
