Thanks Neil, I can post in LR forum but the issue is the same also in PS. There is no ABW = Advanced Black & White option (typo, my bad, not Automatic White Balance 😉 under the color dropdown menu. But someone told me that actually for the ET-8550 perhaps it is called just "Black & White" in LR and PS? If I use Epson Print Layout then I have that ABW option and when I use it prints seem identical to B&W in LR/PS (99% identical, maybe that 1% is due to exporting the pic into a certain color space, jpg compression and reimporting in EPL, rather than printing directly). No complaint re print quality, this printer is exceptional for photos (see Keith Cooper YouTube videos) and yes everything is calibrated and profiled. Also, the options you are showing are not missing in my printer driver, those paper types are in the media type dropdown menu that in my screenshot is set to Epson Matte (unless you meant that the word "archival" is missing?). thanks!
