I don't have an Epson 1400, but I do have CS5 running in Snow Leopard on my Mac, and  I'm pretty sure you have to go under another menu "Color Matching" and choose Epson Color Controls.  It's not in the main window where the "no color adjustment" field is shown. One of my longstanding pet peeves in digital printing is when vendors interlock or "gray out" certain controls based on settings in other sometimes obscure dialogue boxes. They should put a pop up message telling us why the feature is begin locked out.  Without that, it can be a maddening "trial-and-error" search through lots of different settings to find the root cause.
