I'm using an Epson L800 for printing on CD/DVDs, and I can't find any program that supports printing with color management enabled.
I'm using pigment ink with the specific model and the colors are completely off when using the bundled software (Epson Print CD).

Does anybody know of a different program that supports icc profiles and can work with the L800?

Can you not use Photoshop with a suitable template? I've never printed on CDs except as an experiment on my 3800 using a home-made carrier so I have to admit I don't know what the process might be if you are using a built-in CD tray. What I do know is that CDs have very different colour rendering from paper. I regularly make profiles for a commercial CD/DVD duplicating company and they print with a colour-managed workflow; unfortunately I don't know what software they use:(

most companies use discus cd labeling software because it has extensive templates, is cheap and easy to use.
