Close inspection showed a remarkable difference between the two outputs.
Is this InDesign 1.5 or 2.0?
I, too, have noticed differences in output between the InDesign (2.0, in my
case) and Photoshop. For one, InDesign may be applying default "trapping"
which tries to account for adjacent colors by bordering with intermediate
colors. I noticed that printing from InDesign resulted in a clearer,
less-muddy border between colors.
However, InDesign also seems to have some real bugs in their (newly
re-designed) print engine -- I've had a hard time getting it to actually use
the printer-specific settings like media type, resolution, (no) color
management, etc. This seems to be a known "issue" (I call it a bug; their
tech support won't admit that).
So you might want to make sure that the different dithering you're seeing is
really InDesign, or whether it's simply the Epson driver printing with a
different media setting, resolution, etc.
