I am printing on an Epson PRO 3800 with Photoshop CC 2019 on an iMac running High Sierra 10.13.4.
The problem: I want to use a specific paper profile, and print under "Photoshop Manages Colours". However, when I select this option in the Color Management panel on the right, I get a triangular alert symbol and the reminder "Remember to disable the printer's color management in the print settings dialog box". When I then go to Print Settings>Color Matching, "ColorSync" is marked selected, but both choices are greyed out. In the Print Settings>Basic panel, both the "Color" dropdown menu choices and the "Color Settings" dropdown menu choices are greyed out. In other words, it doesn't look as though I can actually disable printer colour management at all.
An Adobe assistant I consulted ending up saying, rather unconvincingly, that it shouldn't make any difference, but that has to be flat wrong; I confirmed this by making a test print which was way off.
Any help very gratefully received.

Just to underline what's been said: you never need to change the Document Profile in Photoshop: it's sRGB or Adobe RGB or ProPhoto. The one thing I personally think that could have a better name is "Document Profile". I think Adobe should call it a Digital Profile. The word Document is all too easily read as pertaining to a document, as in a paper document, hence the confusion with Paper Profiles / ICC profiles. A Digital Profile to me would read m
