Digital BW, The Print

I just upgraded from Photoshop 6 to Photoshop 7.   For Black & White I use
an Epson 860 with Lyson Quad Blacks.   I convert files to RGB and set the
last printer control screen to "printer control management" rather then
"same color space".    Though what I see on the preview print screen is
darker then what I see in Photoshop, it gives me a good result and very
close to what I see on the screen.   Photoshop 7 no longer offers "printer
control management" or at least I can't find it.   Can anyone help who is
using a similiar setup or is familair with photoshop?

Note: When printing color to my Epson 870 I did not use printer control
management but get good results with printing in the same color space.

Help!

I'm glad to hear that you've had at least some success with this
combination.  I also have an Epson 860 with Lyson Quad Black inks, and
I've wasted nearly 25% of my ink trying to get satisfactory results.

All my prints have been way too contrast-y, with hardly any midtones
(but the lighter black inks are definitely firing).  I've tried about
every combination of settings and paper I can come with, but no joy.

Granted, most of my experiments have been with the lowly Photoshop
Elements package (I bought Lyson inks because they supposedly worked
in RGB mode), but I did have similar results with a Photoshop 7 trial
version.

Is this the same behavior you see without Printer Control Management?
 Any advice to help me get up and running?
