What do the prints look like?

One common Problem I had with color prints on an epson 4800 was making
sure I wasn't printing with both the printer and Photoshop trying to
manage color.  When that happened, photoshop was doing the color
conversions and sending it to the printer's drivers, which were doing
another set of color conversions and I ended up with dark,
over-saturated crummy prints.

If I recall correctly...... my settings were something like

Photoshop Manages colors
Relative Calorimetric rendering intent
Color Management OFF in printer settings
Paper settings matching paper type

Hope this helps
