Sorry for the delay, but its the second time in two days my messages
didnt reach the list.
Chris,
I did not mean sending CMYK data to the printer driver (I know Quickdraw
cant).
What I meant, and this was mentioned before, is that the Epson driver
used a CMYK
profile to translate the data internally from RGB to CMYK, for sending
them to
the printer itself.

QuickDraw and GDI only know about indexed color, grayscale and RGB.

They can't do anything with CMYK data.
