I was exactly wondering this last week whether printing a target would be
possible from photoshop etc. using a special/null transform profile. I
checked a bit the mailing list history but couldnt find anything yet. Can
you share a link to this discussion ?

Yes, Graeme recently added this feature to Argyll. I've been using it

I honestly don't understand why there is all this discussion of various
programs for printing targets. You cannot print targets with newer
versions
of Photoshop unless you use the Null Transform trick that has been
discussed. Don't even waste your time!!! This is the reason Adobe created
ACPU. The problem with ACPU is that the Windows version prints out patches
that are slightly smaller than they should be for the i1 Pro. I've not
found that this causes difficulty in reading patches. Of course you have
to
remember to turn off color management in the driver your printer uses.

argyll-generated "general purpose" target. They generate the new patches
It's about generating neutral patches and then adding them to the
through a spreadsheet or script, but I guess you could adapt their
approach.
Looking at the docs, I see that targen got a -n option in the mean time, in
order to add neutral patches, calculated from a given preconditioning
profile (unlike -g which simply creates R=G=B patches, which may or may not
be netural, depending on how well the driver is pre-calibrated internally).
