I just experimented with a D30. Profiles made with a IT8 bring the colours
close but using a photographic chart causes some anomalies (probably
metamerisms) in the profile that are and definitely be better with a Gretag
chart.

Your above method is one of the correct ways to print. I had a problem after
installing MacOs9.1 + Photoshop 6 in that when printing with the same method
you use the driver sided conversions were broken. I changed to the Photoshop
before driver side conversion i.e.; source to destination profile, in
advanced all cm turned off. This works perfectly and avoids any of the Epson
problems that I was having.

From what I saw the S1 has quite peculiar chromie so your success with
profiling it will be limited to it's best calibration. The D30 was showing
delta E's of more than 30 even after pre-setting the white points and greys.
