When I deselect "Manage by printer" my profile for my Epson printer does not appear.  Nothing is showing in the profile box.  How do I add the paper I am using to obtain a better uality print?

OK, OK...I know in my earlier reply I said I should withdraw myself from this thread because I only know Mac solutions to this, but on a hunch I decided to download the driver for this Epson ET-2720 printer just to look through what’s in the installer package (I did’t actually install it). What I found was that, unlike the installation package for my Epson 3880, the installation package for the ET-2720 (on the Mac at least) does not appear to contain any profiles to install, and there don’t seem to be any downloadable profiles on the Epson site for this printer.

 

We expect to see ICC profiles for all fine art/professional inkjet printers. But profiles are not typically installed for consumer/office printers like the ET-2720. My theory is that there are no ICC profiles to be installed for this general purpose printer, and therefore you should be using the Printer Manages Colors workflow.

What printer are you using? Have you installed paper profiles specific for that printer? Is this an issue that just started happening? Or, are you indicating  that you have lost access to your paper profiles?

You should   not select managed by printer. You should use an icc profile.

Are you using macOS or Windows? There are slightly different possible answers depending.
