Default Epson color controls, photo enhance, ICM - which one for accurate photo printing?

I printed a digital photo on an Epson Stylus Photo 820 printer and the =
color balance was noticeably off. There are a number of color balancing =
options in the print driver, i.e. Photo Enhance, ICM, Color Controls =
(with gamma choices), and I wonder how to determine which one will give =
me the most accurate results (without having to print the same photo =
using every possible setting g)? The "Photo Enhance" option seems to =
do additional image processing, such as noise removal and sharpening, =
which I don't want since I've already adjusted the images. The ICM =
option is a simple On/Off choice, while the Color Controls offer a =
multitude of adjustments. I've already made gamma and temperature =
adjustments on the monitor with good results. Thanks!
