I have a EPSON NX300 All-in-one scanner/printer. I have been using photoshop for a few years now, and never once thought about if I was using the correct color profiles or not, when it comes to what I see on the monitor with photoshop, and what comes out of the printer.

I am using Windows 7 Pro 64Bit, with 8GB DDR2 Ram, my GPU is an Nvidia Geforce 8600GT, my monitor is a Viewsonic VX2035wm LCD.

As I go into the printer properties, and Under the Color management > color controls, I have Epson Vivid (ENABLED) or the other choice is "ADOBE RGB".

Could I be using the wrong profiles? Just curious. I used this printer with my recently un-installed XP, and when I go to update driver, it tells me this printer is not suported with this Win7 O.S.....but that's something Ai have to address with Epson. Thank you!

If you are printing out of Photoshop you should have Epson Printing Preferences Color Management set to ICM and Color Adjustment turned off.

When you print with Photoshop: set Color Handling to Photoshop Manages Color and select your paper profile in the Printer Profile dropdown.

I did a search on the Epson site and found 64 bit Windows 7 drivers:
