This is a desire that's been expressed many times 
over the years and months on this list.

One can only surmise at why Epson would not grant 
that capability, when it clearly exists.

Is it an OS issue?  I say no -- CMYK RIPs clearly 
exist.  The OS may not provide intrinsic support 
for CMYK printing, nor does it prevent it.
