Photoshop Printing Warning

Every time I use Photoshop and make some adjustments to one of my photos, I get a warning/message when I try to print the photo. When the printer is done printing the photo, the results are awful. Colors are all out of whack. I'm using Photoshop CS (Mac version) and my printer is a new EPSON Stylus model.
Best Regards,

  You are most probably set up wrong and making the wrong choices in both color management and when you go to print. Printing can be tricky between installing and selecting the right drivers, calibrating your monitor, and making color management choices that make sense.
It is a big issue, which is why I teach a 4 week course in color here at better photo. I've also blogged about it recently:
The Psychology of Color Management and Calibration
I think you need to start by having the right drivers installed for printing, as if you are choosing the right one, it will know the printer is not postscript. That will not solve the color management problems which will have to be addressed separately.
Does that help?

  I downloade the drivers from Epson website and restarted the computer and I still get the same warning message.

  Downloading and installing are good steps. Are you sure you are using the printer driver you installed? Can you display the Print dialog here?
