I may be wrong as I haven’t created printer profiles yet, but I thought it’s possible and valid to apply a printer profile to an RGB image. If that’s correct, then RT should allow showing printer profiles in the output profile selector.

It is curious that RT restricts the choice of output profiles offered in the drop-down list. I have an .icc printer profile provided by the commercial printer specifically for soft-proofing. I have copied this file to the RT folder under iccprofiles\output, expecting it to appear in the output profile drop-down list; but it does not appear, thus making it impossible for me to use the printer profile for soft-proofing.
Hombre explains this:
However the use of an .icc profile for output should not change the file type, it just converts the color space. I do this all the time in PS to soft proof with a printer profile. The resulting output is still an RGB file.
