Karen,
At this point I would look for something stupid in your settings.  You
know, in Adobe you have changed color management to CMYK instead of
Adobe RGB or have possibly are using a different dot gain.

Start in Adobe's color management menu and make sure all the settings
are where you want them.  Then work your way into the printer settings
as they relate to Adobe.  From what you say, this is not a calibration
issue, it is some setting that is sending a de-saturated image to the
printer; almost as if the paper profile you are using is for typing
paper not a fine art or Epson paper.

Just your typical bug hunt.

Richard, Juan,  &  Jonathan -

Thanks for the tips. I had already had the printer ICC profile set up 
as all of you had mentioned.

It's weird --  the Epson is printing *exactly* the same image with 
the same saturation/color as the image  in the Print Preview window.

The only problem is that the image in the Print Preview image is 
considerably desaturated compared to the source image.

When you go to print, does the image in the Print Preview exactly 
match your source image?

The best people have wrangled is apparently Y260,000.  But I haven't 
seen this price in person. If there's a large movement, I'll post to 
the list.

Karen
