For printing your profile target, you are correct. There might be some
confusion as to whether you were asking about settings for *creating*
profiles, or settings for printing *after* you've made your profiles. I was
certainly confused.

Again, for printing your profile target, you are correct. Once you've made
your profiles, your settings in Photoshop's print dialog should be:

Source Space = Document (which would likely be Adobe RGB)
Print Space = <your new profile name>
Epson Advaced = No Color Adjustment

All the other Epson settings (paper type, dpi, etc.) should be set the same
as when you printed the profile target.
