You can assign a color profile, providing you have it as a file something.icc

   

For that epson sRGB profile I do not suppose it is much different to the built in sRGB.

edit: If you cannot find the icc profile on your computer, you can download from Epson.
All sorts depending on printer and paper.   see: https://i.imgur.com/GxHLSg1.jpg
best of luck Wink

The goal is to have completed project print-ready.

When it comes to CMYK, that is a whole different matter. Gimp is a RGB editor and does not support CMYK editing. There is an ancient plugin separate+ that will convert to and export a CMYK image. Very much a last operation when everything else is finished.

There are other ways to convert RGB to CMYK - ImageMagick is one. If you need something with a GUI then use the free application Krita.  There are also free online converters.
