Looking at what I did the last time, I did run both of them (withy
parameters I chose).

The first creates a (display) RGB test file. You should probably
use -d2 with current releases.
The second creates a CMYK test set with a total ink limit of 260%.

So they are quite different. The first might be for the Epson RGB drivers.
The second would be for a more direct driver of some sort (linux ?).

Also,  I have an example of a profile provided by Epson for the printer
and paper I am going to use.  Is there some way to tell from looking at
the profile how many samples I need to ask for in targen?   Is it going
to be the same as the number of entries in a LUT in the Epson profile?

If the profile is for the same driver, then you can feed it into
targen as the -c parameter.
