Argyll won't create profiles for printers a print driver that
has more than 4 inks. What colorspace does your print driver
expect ? Checking an existing ICC profile is one way of
determining this.

(i.e. the actual physical number of inks is irrelevant if
you can't get to them via the print driver, because it
converts some other space like RGB or CMYK into the
physical ink channels.)
