Graeme, here were my original generation commands:

targen -v -d2 -G -f2310 -g256 -s256 name
printtarg -v -ii1 -T360 -p203x254 name
May be Your printing software can'd deal with 16-bit tiffs? And there was 
patch miss-coloring when you've printed the charts?
Are the chart images on display looks like the printed images? Can You view the 
chart images through another image viewing program for reference? If Your 
program haven't correct support of 16-bit images, it can display and print 
these files equally wrong. I'd recommend You to re-generate the charts with 
8-bit tiffs:

printtarg -v -ii1 -t360 -p203x254 -Q8 name

Note that such warnings are not 100% reliable, particularly if
you did not use a realistic profile as an argument to targen -c.

But it is suspicious if every read gives this warning, and if the expected
values differ wildly from the values you are reading. Very high self-fit
delta E's
in colprof would confirm a mis-read chart.
