In MacBook: When we select Photoshop to manage the colours (having installed an ICC in our Library), we are warned to "disable the printer's color management in the print settings dialog box". When I click "Print Settings", there does not seem to be anywhere to do this. Does anyone know?

Ditto here...but...I think it's supposed to be done automatically under Mac OS.
Still, that doesn't look like the dialog for the Epson driver. That looks like a generic OS dialog. Is that what you get when you click "Print Settings"? You're not getting something like this?

No, I was not getting that tab! A useful clue that there's more to the matter than a simple driver. It looks as if http://www.macworld.com/article/2684309/the-trick-to-finding-the-right-printer-driver-for-your-mac.html may help. Thanks, Gilpatrick

If you see a toggled item for Color Options that should also be disabled by default after telling Photoshop to handle the colour management.
In Print Settings you just need to select the appropriate media type and quality settings for your chosen paper. These settings are dictated by whatever was used when the printer profile was created for the chosen paper.
