I had the same escenarios with my customers and a way to solve this is to
rasterize the AI document in Photoshop and colormange there, using the
output profile as source and the proofer profile as output and selecting
absolute/relative colorimetric as rendering intent method.
Remember to include the placed images in the AI document and rasterize it
almost half resolution of the proofer printer to minimize the jaggies.
Once the conversion is made, you print it as usual in the proofer printer,
unchecking the printer driver color management options.
If your AI document is part of a layout, lets say, a QuarkXpress doc, you
have to use an extension from Praxisoft to colormange it in a appropiate
way.
Hope this help
