The lack of accuracy in Epson's driver preview (color-wise)has always been a PITA. I'm hoping someone with the printer can confirm this behaviour one way or another - or at least that it's confined to Windows or something.

Make changes in B&W Advanced mode - none of them show in the driver preview. e.g. I've trashed the Advanced mode girl, no matter what I do the driver preview is neutral. Maybe I've missed something obvious.




The converting a color print to B&W on the fly isn't going to be of much use to me, I'd much rather convert to B&W in Photoshop and control as many aspects of that process as possible..

With converting a color to B&W via Advanced B&W I can't see the conversion from color to B&W until the preview. I preview my toning on the B&W of the girl, not my own image. I get to the preview and see my converted B&W without the toning... where's a crazy face icon when you need one :)

As other users have said, the saving grace of the lame (color management-wise) preview is that it gives you a final chance to check paper size is set ok.
