Subject: [Leica] Using ICC profiles with Epson printers

Help! I got an Epson 3880 for Christmas, and one of the things I've done is 
to download ICC profiles for some of the specialty Epson papers. The install 
CD for the printer includes profiles for a variety of basic papers, but I 
wanted to try some of their exotic fine-art stuff, of which I got a small 
supply in sample packs that were being offered by Epson (with a 65% rebate!)

The profile installers ran, but I cannot find the profiles themselves, and 
the "Pro3880.profiles" package in the HD >Library >Printers >EPSON 
>InkjetPrinter >ICCProfiles folder does not contain them, although it does 
contain the profiles that were copied from the install CD that came with the 
printer. Moreover, when I go to print on one of these special papers, the 
names of the papers for which I installed the additional profiles fail to 
appear in the Media Type drop-down menu in the Print dialog box in addition 
to those whose profiles are in the Pro3880.printers package. Surely they're 
supposed to do this, or else how would the printer driver know to use the 
right profile?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
