While a separate utility might be a useful thing, I think you are
missing the point of view of the higher
end people printing.  Most have Photoshop and print from Photoshop.
Most use various different papers,
not just printer manufacturer supplied papers.   So if you want to use
various papers and the Epson
driver you need to download ICC profiles from somewhere or create your
own custom ones.
When you print you've got to be able to select which profile will be
used -- during the printing process.
