Macintosh Preview calibration

I run a pre-Santa Rosa iMac, 2.16 GH core 2 duo, Leopard 10.5.2, all updates installed, and Photoshop CS3. I've fought the good fight regarding printing on an Epson R1800 via CS3 under Leopard, and eventually succeeded: the printer prints with I see on the monitor. But ever since, the print preview in Preview is as awful as the prints used to be.

Preview seems to know something about profiles -- source, monitor, printer -- but I haven't found a way to change profiles for it. I read Andrew Rodney's book, Color Management for Photographers, but found no help there.

I'm screen-calibrated, have replaced CS3 preferences, removed, reset and reinstalled fresh printer drivers, done safe boots, run disk utility and disk warrior. Help is sought from anyone with Preview expertise.

Preview shows garish, over-bright colors with low-key areas flood with blue and/or cyan. This is independent of printer settings.
