Unfortunately it's probably not going to work. ColorSync is broken in
Epson's OS X drivers. Theoretically what you mentioned should work, however
in reality, it's not going to. I have a 7600 that I've tried with the OSX
driver and the ColorSync color management option. I get the same results
with ColorSync turned on as I do with No Color Management selected.
I just spoke with Epson tech support today about this. Sadly, there's no one
at Epson who will help you with anything related to color management, at
least that's what I was told. As long as the machine puts ink on paper and
the paper comes out the other end, thats all their concerned about.
In fact, I was told that Apple is considering releasing a G5 that will boot
into OS9 as a workaround for the plethora of printing and print driver
related issues.
