I think GIMP will ignore the image profile (or lack of profile) just like
acpu. Note that ACLU is currently stand alone and free.

Printing from Microsoft Paint.exe on Windows 10 yields the same output as
printing using ACPU. I don’t see a difference between the two outputs.
Interesting.

Finally found a moment to compare the output sent from Photoshop to the
output sent from ACPU, and there’s a huge difference between the two,
confirming what others reported here.
At first sight, I would say it’s as though ACPU turns the “driver” into a
“CMY” printer, as opposed to an “RGB” printer? It’s plain to see.
Now which one is “better”?
I need to find an application outside of the Creative Cloud, to “compare”.
Perhaps, on Windows, one of Microsoft’s imaging apps? On Windows 10,
“Photos.exe”? Only problem (read “limitation”) is that Photos.exe does not
allow accessing the printer “Preferences” from its printing dialog -- darn?
(I have to set the Preferences from Settings > Devices > Printers &
Scanners > myPrinter > Manage > Printing Preferences) Which adds an element
of “uncertainty” to the process until, I guess, one learns to “trust” the
settings to stick! Well, the output is not the same as from Photoshop and
as from ACPU.
I have to keep looking… I don’t suppose Epson has its own “Printing
Utility”?
And I don’t suppose the “problem” exists on the Mac or Linux?
