manage the color?

Yes.

Ok than could you tell me the rest of the settings that you select in
the Print and View menus in Photoshop. I assume they are:
Color Management: Proof
Color Handling: Photoshop Handles Color
Printer Profile: Working CMYK - US Web Coated ((SWOP) v2))
Proof Setup: Epson Stylus r1900
Stimulate Paper Color

View Proof Setup: Custom
Device to Simulate: Working CMYK - US Web Coated (SWOP) v2
Rendering Intent: Relative Colormetric
Black Point Compensation
Simulate Paper Color

If these are your settings, than they are WRONG! These settings are for
a generic CMYK printing press, not for your Epson printer.

You have to pick a printer profile of the Epson Stylus R1900 printer,
which is NOT the same as 'Working CMYK - US Web Coated (SWOP) v2)'. In
fact, these printer profiles are RGB-based, even though the printer
obviously uses CYMK-based inks. The reason is that the printer driver
expects RGB input, not CMYK input. The name of the printer profile will
reflect the paper choice, so it will be something like 'SPR1900 PrmGlsy
BstPhoto'.

Could you please tell me the right settings to use if I want to make
Photoshop manage the color and use Premium Photo Paper Glossy?
