Canon ipf8400 and photoshop CC. Error message when loading the Canon print plug in.

I have a Canon IPF 8400 which I've been using successfully with my PC for about 8 years with Photoshop CC (subscription). I recently move from a desktop PC to a MSI pulse GL66 laptop. I am having trouble getting the Canon Plug-In for photoshop working for printing. I have loaded onto the laptop all the updated drivers and software for the IPF 8400 from the Canon website. I know the driver allows the computer to recognize the printer because the printer responds when loading drivers and software. Also I can print using the Photoshop File/print menu. However, when I try to load the Canon plug in to print via "File/export/ipf8400 print plug in", it gives me the error message: "the required profile to perform color processing is not available" and the plug in won't load. I have no idea what that error message means, so I don't know how to fix it. Any idea what 'the required profle' is referring to? And what I need to do to fix this?

Again, I can print using the photoshop File/print menu, but I'm not sure this is good way to print with this printer as I've always used the Canon plug-in. So if you can't offer help on the error message, then do you know if there is any disadvantage to printing using the photoshop File/print menu, versus using the Canon photoshop plug in?
