Thanks for pointing this out. I was actually referring to applying
the "convert to profile" command prior to printing, but it sounds
like using "Print w/Preview" as you suggest (below) does exactly the
same thing with less fuss. In fact, this method should be sufficient
for PhotoShop users with custom profiles. By "sufficient" I mean that
this method has all the required functionality and access to printing
options. Just lock down the Epson driver in a useful state (such as
"no color correction") and apply color management in "Print
w/Preview" -- anything wrong with that?
Then I don't see why you would ever need printer driver (OS) access
to profiles (for printing from PhotoShop), as long as the Epson
driver can be locked down, which I know can be done under OS-9... My
conclusion is that printer driver (OS) color management might be
useful with applications other than PS, but with PS it would be
redundant (and potentially confusing) it seems. Am I missing
something?
And thank you also for your comments on the "automatic" and
"photo-realistic" settings of the Epson driver.
I'm using PS7 (just upgraded from 6) with OS-9. I have no idea if
"locking down" the Epson driver is actually possible with OS-X -- if
not, that would be unfortunate.

Photoshop does color management:
Print Space (in Photoshop's Print w/ Preview) set to custom profile
for the printer
Rendering intent set to the profile's default (you'd need to know
this, it's probably perceptual)
Black point compensation OFF
Driver color management set to off (or for a custom profile whatever
settings were used to build the profile)
