Paul,
You're asking for Photoshop to function in a way that it's not designed
to anymore. A source profile is assumed. Even if you turn color
management "off".
You could go back and view the images in Photoshop 4. Which I guess
would make an argument for setting Photoshop 4 as your CMYK working
space. I recently received some images tagged with the Photoshop 4
profile - I gotta' tell you - they were awful. Holy Crap!
You could get test targets proofed at the various printers in question,
and generate your own profiles for these printers - assuming they can
match their proofs on press.
On to hardball - make sure that the "intermediates" see that work sent
to these printers comes out badly. Make sure that they understand that
they are sacrificing quality - for whatever reason they have for
selecting those printers. Market influence is all that will change the
situation. I'm the first to say that printers who are unwilling to make
the investments in improvement should be drummed out of business. But,
somehow these guys keep getting work.
Lastly, send all your printing to me. You'll lose weight, your teeth
will be whiter, you'll get rich, and chicks will dig you.
