The printer profiles are just for soft-proofing. You use that to check the
image as the printer will print it - usually its close to the onscreen image
if you have properly profiled your display. If you have not you will have to
constantly check softproof to make sure you are getting what you want.

One of the good things about Costco and the reason so many professional
photographers now use them is the ability to download a color profile for
their machines and the ability to turn off corrections so that the
photographer can get prints to their own preferences.

I can agree with everything said with the exception of the Costco remark.
Costco is simply the machine and for smaller prints the same machine used in
the most expensive professional labs. The quality is in the detail and that
is done by the photographer who submits the file. Some of the really high
end labs may have someone in between the photographer and the machine who
does the work (makes the corrections) that the photographer should have
done.
If so they normally charge for the service.
Doesn't work much differently from the days of film where the professional
lab had some who covered the butts of the sloppy photographer.
