Imageprograf Pro-1100 Profile for Glossy Photo Paper 170gsm?

Hi all, just switched from Epson units to Canon. Really happy so far to not be dealing with constant printer issues, could use a little help with this though. Picked up a Pro-4600 and a Pro-1100, no issues with the 4600 she was good from the first print but the 1100 not so much I'm having trouble figuring out which profile to use. I'm using windows 11 and Photoshop CS6 with the Pro-1100 and 170gsm Glossy Photo Paper

The 4600 has a stock profile for glossy photo paper 170gsm which is what we use so I chose that in the driver and set photoshop to that setting as well, no issues whatsoever it was perfect right off the bat. I forgot all about double profiling and all that stuff it’s been years since I had to deal with it so I didn’t even think to turn off the color controls in the drivers for the 4600 and just use PS, I just did so now even though it was printing fine I assume because both the printer and PS were using the same canon profile so there was no double profiling.

Unfortunately the 1100 has no such built-in profile, again I didn’t even think about the profiling issue because it wasn’t there on the 4600. It looks like the profiles that come with the 1100 are custom made for the media which canon sells, I chose one that was named Canon Glossy Plus II A for PS as well as the driver and the skin tones were way off they came out deeply yellowed. So then of course I remembered the disaster with EPSON and the custom ICC’s I had made and turned off color controls in the driver and this time chose a profile named “Canon other glossy paper” in PS. It was a little bit better but still very yellowed for the skin tones.

Anyone have any guidance as to which profile would be most compatible or should I just run a bunch of prints with the glossy profiles and do some trial and error?

I'm seeing a similar, though not identical issue. I have the color profile for the Canon Pro Luster paper but when I use it on the Pro 1100 the colors come out faded. Interestingly if I use the Pro Luster setting on the actual printer it comes out perfect. I'm not sure why using a Canon profile on a Canon printer for Canon paper isn't working. I'm wondering if I have done something wrong on the implementation. I also use paper profiles for Red River paper and they turn out just fine.
