Something else to try besides the tip of Eric’s. I just tested this
and it works on my end. Print the targets (untagged) in Preview!
Printing ICC Profile Targets via Apple Preview 5.0 (501)
1. Open the target file and select “Print”
2. Select the 'Color Matching' pull down menu from the Preview app
and select 'EPSON Color Controls'
3. Select your various Epson driver settings for the profile you
want to create and ensure you've turned OFF the Epson Color
Management under our driver menu.
I just did this and also used Eric’s technique. The targets were mea
sured right out of the printer, hence that max deltaE due to dry dow
n. It appears that this is printing correctly (matching Photoshop us
ing Eric’s tip). Test done with the 3880:
Overall - (930 colors)
--------------------------------------------------
Average dE: 0.25
Max dE: 1.04
Min dE: 0.01
StdDev dE: 0.14
Best 90% - (836 colors)
--------------------------------------------------
Average dE: 0.22
Max dE: 0.46
Min dE: 0.01
StdDev dE: 0.10
Worst 10% - (94 colors)
--------------------------------------------------
Average dE: 0.55
Max dE: 1.04
Min dE: 0.47
StdDev dE: 0.09
--------------------------------------------------
Please test this if you can, it proves a point that Preview under
Snow Leopard and at least an Epson driver greater than 6.x version
work properly.

Perhaps someone here will find this useful. If it's old news, my
apologies. I have no connection with the author, and have not tried
any of this myself.
