As you can see, there is no mention of exactly which "color management

Taking as an example what happens with the printer driver for my Epson 2200,
I do not see any place in that dialog box to select any of the "color
management settings" that are hinted at in the Help file.
I would think that the first couple of dialogs are Operating System
dialogs, customized by PhotoShop. The latter dialogs are written
by the printer vendor, hence the vagueness in the PhotoShop documentation.
So it sounds like your Epson 2200 drivers simply don't have the flexibility
of some of the later Epson drivers. Have you tried looking for any
updates from Epson ?
It seems to me that this "Printer Color Management" option offers no true
color management choices, but just a way to use the driver the same way one
would do without having access to the Print With Preview dialog box in
Photoshop.
It seems that (at least under MSWindows), there is more scope for the
printer vendor drivers to make "smart" profile choices, that is, automatically
matching the printer configuration settings to the appropriate profile,
while this isn't so easy/possible from the application side.
I find it confusing that this is being referred to as "Printer Color
Management" in the application, whereas it appears to me that it has little
to do with "color management" in its common meaning (i.e., the choice of two
specific profiles -- source and destination -- plus rendering intent and,
possibly, BPC).
I'll post you some screen captures of what I get for my R1800.
