I tried uninstalling the driver and reinstalled it to make sure the
defaults were being used, then printed it with the canon easy print
software, same magenta cast. I stopped playing with photo shop to eliminate
that variable and am testing with canon's bundled printing software. If I
print on this photo pro paper and set the driver to high rez, the color
totally changes (almost right but is now a touch blue and a little too
light..), so then I set it as "photo pro" in the driver and used hi rez
paper and get the magenta shift back so this -paper type- setting (not the
paper itself) in the driver is obviously doing the magenta color shift
applying this same "PR1" icm they tell you to use in PS for this photo pro
paper if one wants to print -that- way.

I don't think the canon printing software can apply it twice can it? It
prints like this from any application I've tried, even really basic ones
with no color adjustments.

Tried it both ways, setting it in PS/turning off the driver and vis versa
same result. And I do understand about turning OFF color management in the
driver if you set it in PS.

Found a PDF specific to this printer using icm inside photoshop written by
canon, no help, same magenta results.

Maybe canon support can help me? Looks like my only real solution for now is
to color correct a soft proof in PS and print that way. It's a bitch
because the prints this way look fantastic. As little as I print, it may be
worth doing it this way....
