I personally run with all-default settings in
the Epson printer driver control panel.  The
only thing I set is the paper type and orientation,
and the resolution at "Quality" (vs. "Speed".)

I do color correction by the numbers (using the
Info Palette in Photoshop) and that seems to
give a very nicely balance image on my Epson 700.

This is with Photoshop 4; if you're using PS 5,
you may need to work differently, and pay much
closer attention to profiles, etc.
