colour profiles

I have just calibrated my monitor with Colourmunki and saved the profile. Do I access this under, edit, assign profile or under, view, proof setup, custom?

I have a Epson xp-950 printer which I am told I cannot colour profile and should just let the printer manage the colours, is that correct?

Click the angle-icon and choose from the pop-up menu.

What to display in the Status Bar seems to ultimately be a matter of taste, but unless on has need to check another property regularly the Document Profile might be a good one to keep an eye on – in particular when handling images from different sources.

Thought I had to calibrate my monitor monthly to get colours correct, haven't read links you sent me, we have a look now.  Thank you very much

Sure you should calibrate your monitor regularly but Photoshop should get the information from the OS to correct its display output accordingly.

One should generally not use the monitor profile as a working color space.
