Maybe this is old news and I just missed it.
I'm on Windows 7 and use PS CC for many things, but I kept CS5 for (among other things) making ICCs with QTR's Create ICC-RGB. PS CC originally would not allow the printer driver "No Color Adjustment" output through it without alteration. It would automatically either set the Print screen to "Photoshop Manages Colors" (where there was no appropriate profile option) or take the Epson driver off "No Color Adjustment." So, I used CS5, with my workspace at Adobe RGB. In the PS Print screen I selected Adobe RGB as the profile, thus, in effect, having a "no color management" option -- a pass-through of the driver's output without PS altering it.
Now what I find is that my PS CC *will* allow me to set "No Color Adjustment" in the Epson printer driver and keep CC's Print screen at "Printer Manages Colors." I compared the final 21-step print Lab L values when CC had this setup with the CS5 approach of having Adobe RGB be the profile, and the outputs are identical.
It appears to me that Adobe is now allowing, in effect, a "No Color Management" option by simply allowing us to set the Print screen to "Printer Manages Colors."
(With respect to another CC function I avoided -- select by color range -- it also appears my CC works much better now. A major upgrade must have been downloaded automatically.)

I don't know, Paul, but I'd suspect that the setup you are talking about:
In PS -- Printer Manages Color
In Epson driver -- select a paper and No Color Adjustment
will convert to the Paper's builtin ICC profile.
You'd have to figure out a test to be sure but seems like this is just
the standard -- let-the-driver-apply-the-printer-profile mode
Have you used/compared ACPU ? This is what they claim to be real
"No Color Management".
