Roy,

Sounds straight forward. Standard print dialog. I guess anyone who ever
bought an Epson printer must have some low level Photoshop software in Mac
version.

If you edit in Windows and then print from a Mac, I guess you can you save
the file in any format in Windows that your Mac software can open.

How many curves have you and other worked out at this point and for which
printers/ink combinations?
