Canon Pro-100 casting a red hue on all photos

Hi, my canon printer is casting a slight red hue onto all my photos. 

I have a MacBook Pro and am printing from photoshop with the correct color profile that matches my Canon paper.

I have performed cleaning and deep cleaning the nozzles multiple times. The first time I did it my test page showed Cyan not working, so I replaced the ink tank and my second attempt showed that all colors were printing normal.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the printer driver and unplugged the printer. 

I make sure ColorSync is checked when Photoshop manages colors, but unchecked it when I tried Printer Manages colors. Both settings had a red hue. 

My printer used to work just fine, I’ve had it for 4 years and never had this specific problem. It just started doing this in the last month.

I don’t know what else to do, please help!

Have you downloaded the latest driver and ensured that you are using the IJ Series version of the printer and not the AirPrint version?

Hi John,

thank you for your response. I updated my Mac to the latest version (Ventura) and downloaded the most recent driver (16.70.0.0) and it is still printing everything with the red/pink hue. It’s mostly skin tones that are coming out too red.

And this is how it prints:
