Apple/Epson driver failure.

I am a working commercial photographer using a calibrated workflow (spectrophotometer monitor calibrations, custom output profiles). With a recent Mac OS 10.5.8 (main workstation) and 10.6.21 (laptop) security update installation, my profiles will no longer hook up to my files as I print. At least it looks that way. I am having this problem an Epson 7600 (photoblack pigment ink) and with an old 1270. (I also use a more current Epson 7800 (matte black pigment ink) which I haven't tested yet). I get very dark contrasty, perhaps a "preserve color numbers" looking print output regardless of the profile applied. If I move the file to a OS 10.4 machine it all works fine, just as it always has. Epson is not likely to upgrade these drivers but this seems like an OS change that may have obsoleted the drivers somehow. I have researched online and duplicated the profiles to another folder, to no avail. Soft proofing assigning these same profiles shows the same flawed result. In querying Apple support, others have apparently had this problem but I have not discovered a reason much less a solution. I know they are old printers but they work beautifully for me and I would rather not take them to the landfill for more than practical reasons. Any Ideas?
