+1 to all the responses the OP has received. Shooting the messenger is never a good idea.

Thanks to Apple and Adobe, it's been a long time since you can print direct from PS to QTR on a Mac, at least if you want to have complete control over colour management. The reasons are well documented if you search. PS may be the most popular editing s/w, but popularity just gives them the freedom implement colour management in a way that is no longer compatible with grey gamma 2.2 printing workflows. Users of niche approaches(QTR) just have to suck it up.

If you want to print using any monochrome inkset, which means printing via QTR, then you have to use Print Tool to have control over colour management. If you want to print direct from PS, then you should stick to ABW, which means a K3 inkset like OEM, although getting control over colour management is even harder that way IMHO.
