Normally the paper manufacturer will supply "canned" profiles. These are generic for the printer itself. However this is generally for the manufacturers supplied ink. However not all paper manufacturers go to the trouble of suppling profiles, they leave it up to the user to produce these for themselves.
Epson do supply profiles but for their own paper. These I've found in the past to be OK. The Ilford ones tend to be a bit more accurate. If you go for a CIS system then you may find the supplier will offer a custom profiling service, but may charge.
