John,

here is where we are getting a little foggy, I think. The Epson driver converts 
"to" these paper profiles, but where "from"? 

One option is  the embedded profile of the RGB image to be printed. 
Another is the source color space that the driver asks for. 
Another is to assume that your color space is same as monitor (as it used to 
be before Photoshop 5). In the latter case the Epson driver would 
automatically read that from the ColorSync control panel.

I don't have the Epson dialogue box in front of me but those are the options in 
principle anyway. So, do you have a sure way to tell which of these happens 
when you pick ColorSync in the options of the Epson driver?
