It depends on the paper. Red River metallic paper and Moab can be used since both companies provide an ICC profile for your printer.

Hahnemuehle does not provide ICC profiles for your printer. You would have to use trial and error. The Pro-100 profile might be a close match.

ICC profiles provide a translation between the digital file on your computer and the image you see on your printer paper. 

When you selected Glossy Photo paper or a similar setting for your printer you were using the Canon ICC profile, but glossy white photo papers tend to be very consistent across manufacturers, so it printed fine. Not true for some other papers.
