The short answer is that for the latest drivers, I don't know. Definitely
for the earlier drivers, which shipped with both specific paper profiles
and a generic "Epson Printer" profile, you should never choose the generic
profile in the *print dialog*.

The best results with *any* Epson driver should result from turning off all
color matching in the driver (but how to do that can vary by driver
version), making a custom profile, and using that in the print dialog
popup. That makes Photoshop do a conversion to your custom profile and
leaves the Epson driver out of the color matching business.

Photoshop -- an Update" article.
