My laptop probably cannot upgrade to Monterey but since I rarely print from that, it is not the end of the world. What is so discouraging and frustrating, is that there were likely many people experiencing this issue and it was never truly acknowledged by Apple that there WAS INDEED A SERIOUS BUG in Big Sur and they chose not to fix it, instead sorting it out in Monterey. I am sure I will run into glitches in other areas but for now, my printer/settings/ICC profiles and ability to print from LR and PS are all restored since the upgrade. After MUCH agonizing and experimentation, including trying to print from my older laptop (running Big Sur as well), I decided to upgrade my desktop computer to Monterey. I have done many many shut downs and restarts and am unable to get the printer to print from Photoshop. There appears to be a bug preventing the printer from understanding the photoshop print dialogue box. If I allow the printer to manage colors, I can print, but then the color management is not right.
I have downloaded and installed the latest printer driver available on the Canon site which seems to be the latest and also supposedly works with Big Sur. My inks are not run down, and I have cleaned the print heads. All that did was create more work for me in restoring my preference presets. I chose the ITJ version of the printer (not AirPrint) and have tried many times to remove the printer and re-add it. I am then unable to set any of my paper settings. The print settings button will not come on if "Photoshop Manages color" is selected. My Pixma Pro 100 will print from Lightroom but not Photoshop.
The ICC Profiles for these papers are included in the download packs.I have a 2019 iMac Retina running Big Sur 11.6.4. The tables below contain a list of popular photo papers which have been tested and approved to use with Canon printers as well as their media type and paper tray settings.
