Dale,
Curious which Epson Print CD version / OS you are using?
When I profiled my CD printer with Epson Print CD (v1.3.1) on Mac OS X
10.4.11 there is no Print Dialog box that allows one to choose ³No Color
Management² as you mentioned.
There is only a selection of Light to Strong (-3 to +3) under ³Color
Correction² in the Epson Print Dialog. After clicking the ³Print² button the
image gets sent straight to the printer without any further print dialog
windows as is normally the case.
