You can get close without monitor calibration, although it might take more
fiddling to get there.
Search the Web - there are calibration routines that will help with
white/black settings.
The last thing you want to do is chase color with individual printer
adjustments for different images.
I'ts a bit frustrating @ first but after you get it under contol it
shouldn't require additional effort on your part.

No, the monitor is not calibrated, and no, I can't afford that at the
moment
:-(
(Christmas is coming up, a lot of gifts to buy, more mouths to feed during
Christmas and so on)
To be honest: I don't think my monitor is worth the price of calibration.
What I've done is to set the white point at something I _know_ is near
white. At screen it looks a bit yellow, but I believe it is near neutral.
To uncheck "printer colour control" sounds like an excellent idea.
Thank you :-)

Is your monitor calibrated?
Initially, at least, stick with paper from Epson. Use the build in
profiles.
Uncheck "printer color control".
