I am having an ongoing dialog with Adobe about this problem in PSCS4 and OSX 10.5.5. Images that printed perfectly out of CS3 with PS managing the color and Epson driver CM turned off print dark and muddy. It's obvious that the profile is being applied twice.
They are having be go through a ridiculous number of test installations, none of which correct the problem. Fortunately I can print out of CS3 and LR 2.1. I have PSCS4 installed on both an Intel-based Mac and a PowerPC based Mac. It is only the PowerPc Mac that is having the problem.
The only thing that works at the moment with CS4 on the PowerPc Mac is to convert the image to the printer profile, have the Epson driver do the color management, not PS.
Stay tuned. If Adobe solves the problem I'll let you know.
