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?
Exactly! (Sorry for the delay in getting back to this topic James.)

Well there is a reason, Jim. A larger color space will give more colors and detail than the smaller color space. sRGB is used by labs so most people are not even aware of the larger color spaces. I use my printer for fine art prints these days, but when I used them for my agility shots they were hands down better than lab prints... brighter, clearer, more detail than lab prints.
I understand now, James, why you wouldn't use RGB and yes commerical labs use the smaller color gamut. My printer uses pigment inks and are archival as well as the fine art paper I use. There is, though, a huge difference between sRBG and Adobe RGB and ProPhoto color space.

Well, it looks like I stand corrected. I gave up on self-printing so long ago, it appears that I'm behind the times.
I got this from another forum:

Jim,
Yes, Many of the current inkjets and especcially the new ones such as the Epson 7900/4900/etc are capable of beyond sRGB.
A review of the 4900 on Luminous-Landscape:
