Hi. The paper supplier will have ICC profiles for the paper/printer combinations they recommend.

For example, Red River Paper provides ICC profiles for an ip4820; they recommend Photo Paper Plus Glossy as the media type.

If the paper supplier doesn't have a profile just try selecting Photo Paper Plus Glossy from the printer driver. 

I don't know the details of your printer, but Museum Etching is a heavy paper and it needs a straight paper path. Does your printer have that option?

The Canon paper is made by Hahnemuehle; they don't have an ICC profile for your printer. You could try selecting Matte Photo Paper and see how that prints.
