Hans,

While I can not write a treatise on color
management / colorsync here in a few words, this
will fix your problem:

Select "no color adjustment" in the epson driver. 
Set the "space" box to rgb color.  Your screen
will look funny, but your prints won't.  Don't
save you images after applying the printer profile
in the colorsync filter, save before.

Read the photoshop manual carefully to learn about
this stuff.  It took me a while to figure it all
out.  Go to Andrew Rodney's web site at
http://www.digitaldog.net/  and download
instructions on using colormanagement with
photoshop 5.  Buy a good book on photoshop till
you learn all this stuff.

By the way, you don't need the colorsync plug ins
with photoshop 5 and above.  Photoshop can do it
all by itself via Profile to Profile command.
