All-in-One Printer with Color Management/ICC Profiles

I am looking for an all-in-one printer that can handle paper/color management with ICC profiles like a pro printer. I know from  experience with a Canon Pro-100 (and similar pro printers) the ideal way to setup printing from Photoshop is to go to "Manual Color Management", and under the "Matching" tab to select "None". Then in the Photoshop print window to select "Photoshop Manages Colors" and then select the Paper ICC profile. The issue I'm trying to get answered, is with my Pro-100 I can select specific profiles in that last step, aka, "Canon Pro-100 Semigloss/ProLuster/ProPlatinum/PremiumMatte" etc etc, however on my existing all-in-one, it only has a standard "Canon IJ Profile 2015".. and no options to install ICC profiles (Its a  Canon TR7620). 
I know the Canon G620 is possible to download ICC Profiles for other paper brands such as Red River, but does it have pre-installed Canon ICC Profiles for Canon's specific paper selections? When I print with the Canon TR7620, Ive been experimenting with various menu setups and I'm just not getting any accurate results consistently at all. Even on default settings, colors are just not at all accurate. I don't really "need" a 13" big printer like my Pro-100, and its just so massive and takes up so much of my limited space. I'd like the ICC color handling I get from the Pro100 with paper selection options (ideally for Canon paper, or open to suggestions on lower cost papers with ICC profiles) on an all-in-one... but not sure what models there are besides the Canon G620, and if that has canon paper specific profiles or not, or which models would. Should also note I'm working in Windows 11, so the whole Apple air print whatever issues is not relevant to me.

The G620 does not have native pre installed color profiles.

Thank you! Do you know if you can download ICC Profiles for it? I've heard you can download Red River ICC Profiles for their papers, but would that only work with Red River Papers do you know? I just find it so bloody hard to get remotely good color with the standard "Printer manages colors" or by using "Photoshop manages colors" and using the default "Canon IJ Profile 2015" or whatever it is.
What do you use to print accurately?
