Glad it is resolved George.


Correct - added to which, in the "Managed by Printer Option", you do need to select "EPSON Color Controls" in the driver if "ColorSync" was previously active and you now want printer colour management using the controls available in the driver.

You can use Mac OS color controls by selecting ColorSync and then selecting the correct output profile in the popup that is then available.  This means Mac OS/ColorSync does the conversion to the output space and from limited testing the results seem identical to letting LR apply the profile and do the conversion.  I can’t think of any good reason to do this, and there may be good reasons not to (some of more savvy color management gurus such as Andrew or Doug might know more about this), so I mention this just as a curiosity.

One nice part of this feature, it is available throughout the printing pipeline in Mac OS so pretty much any application such as preview can output via a profile instead of only allowing the printer to control the color.
