I was wondering how the printer "knows" what profile to print to in order to give the superior results. If I print with the printer managing the printing I get a significantly better result. I am printing from Capture NX2 and when I have NX2 managing the printing I sometimes get a result that does not accurately match the image on the screen. I just came across these comments (somewhat late) because I am having problems printing accurately on my Epson 3880.
But I hope this will save someone else from spending a long time trying to debug a similar problem. Also, as I encountered this problem on Windows (64-bit Windows 7, with Photoshop CS5), I don't know whether the same problem would occur on a Mac. Nor do I know whether there is a similar problem with having other Epson printers coexist with the 3800 on the same machine. I don't know what this means for people who wish to use both a 3800 and a 3880 from the same machine.

After removing the old driver (not merely deleting the printer), then uninstalling all Epson software, then rebooting, then freshly installing the 3880 driver, the problem was immediately solved. I can only speculate that the 3880 driver must have been finding some old configuration settings or the Epson ICC profiles that were installed with the old printer. To cut a long story short, the problem turned out to be that I had not completely uninstalled the old Epson 3800 driver and colour profiles before installing the 3880. But I prefer the finer control that I have when I let Photoshop manage colours.
When I selected "Printer manages colors" in the printer driver dialog window, the colours were acceptable. This was only a problem when I chose the "Photoshop manages colors" setting. I recently switched from an Epson 3800 to a 3880, and found that all colours were tending towards brown.

In case anyone is having problems with dull colours on prints made with Epson papers an Epson Stylus Pro 3880, I have a possible solution.
