James,

I think what Preston was referring to is that you have the option selected in photoshop that the printer manages the colors - not photoshop. If this is is what you want, you have to make sure the printer is also set to manage the colors. If I read it correctly, your EPSON printer is set to NOT manage colors "no color management" - so it is expecting PS to do so.

So - Photoshop is expecting the printer to manage the colors, and the printer is expecting photoshop to manage the colors - and in the end neither is doing it. I think this is the problem.

Does that make sense?
