I'm not the person with the problem. I'm trying to help the person with
the problem. Appropriate, as I own the hardware in question -- while you
obviously do not.

[duh]

Well, I do own the R1800 printer, but since the OS of the OP isnt
obvious, it appears we are stuck.

The printer in question is the r1800, but the hardware/software with
which he created the profile was an x-rite/pantone colormunki -- which
takes care of puting the created profile in the correct place on the OS
on which it runs -- and which is the piece of the hardware puzzle I doubt
you own as you are questioning the location of the profile it created
[which is not even a software option].

The issue is not the location of the profile -- the issue is using that
created profile, as it is not a matter of trying to select it in the
printer driver [the OP's original problem as I read it] but of selecting
it in the application doing the printing.

I have a hunch there is something messed up in the profile itself, where
one way to figure it out might be to open the new one in something like
Spybot FileAlyzer and the good one and see if it is obvious. Might be
able to open them in NotePad++ hex edit plugin or some other hex editor
such as wxHexEditor. I'd check the name [inside the profile] of that
profile against one of the free Epson R1800 ones.

The epson profiles appear to have the printer model and then the name of
the profile offset roughly 300 or so bytes into the raw file.

SPR1800 DblSDMtte BstPhoto.icc is profile file name SPR 1800
DblSDmtteBstPhoto.icc in %windir%\system32\spool\drivers\color\ which
shows up as Double-Sided Matte Paper in the R1800 Properties, so suspect
you'll need to searc down further for the name string. NotePad++ Hex
plugin has better facilities for searching, but isnt as good a raw hex
editor as a few others. All are free from SourceForge.

Epson has profiles for their papers available for all their printers at
their website. Dont recall if you had to register or not, been a couple
years since I bought the R1800.

The only way I know of to view the detailed Epson or other paper
profiles is from the printer's printing menus after you select a paper.
