In my experience with older Epson printers, if you're using Epson paper &
inks on an Epson printer you shouldn't need custom profiles.
Sound like there is something amiss in your set up. - like are you using the
monitor calibration profile ?

Subject: Lightroom printing on an Epson 870
I've always had difficulties with colors in printing on my old Epson
870 photo printer.
I don't do it very often, and learned how to 'get along' with
Photoshop Elements for prints.
Now I would like to make my new system easier and more foolproof.
I've calibrated the monitor, but was very disappointed printing out of
Lightroom.
The steel gray minivan I photographed showed up like it was under a
heatlamp.
I had a red or magenta cast on a photo taken in sunlight. Not at all
close to the original.
The Epson 870 might be 5 years old? Resolution is satisfactory, but
colors wander.
Depending on what glossy photo paper I put in the printer, I get
different cast & shades.
HP & Epson glossy papers are not the answer and I have a bunch generic
glossy paper
from Staples (because the first 50 sheets I bought from them worked
out so well).
I hear you guys talk about selecting a paper profile from the printer
and I'm jealous.
I don't have any profiles to select from and I suspect the printer is too
old.
I've recently looked into creating some profiles, but thought I'd ask
for your collective wisdom.
Regards, Bob S.
