I cannot ever get my colors even close -PRO-200

Hello,

I have had a Pro-200 for a number of years.  I simply cannot get accurate color in my prints.  Ever.  Now they are wildly inaccurate.  I have done all of the recommended cleaning and everything appears normal in those prints, but as soon as I go to make fine art prints using Canon paper, no go.  

Note, I am using Photoshop and create print images there.  I have made them in RGB and CMYK.  They are all terrible.  I have the most recent driver and the most recent OS on my Mac Desktop.  I never can find my printer listed in Photoshop.  I have also used the selection of Use Photoshop to Manage Color AND Use Printer to Manage Color.  No difference.

I reinstalled the printer driver today.  When I pull up my printers and scanners window, it says that I have Canon PRO-200 series 2 installed, model Canon Pro 200 series AirPrint, Driver version 40.

If anyone could offer advice, I would be so thankful.  This has been a very expensive printing experience with minimal success.

Agree, I I have never seen Canon papers listed in Photoshop ICC Profiles.  Currently it defaults to SRGB IEC61966-2.1.  I don't want to go through each ICC Profile to find the one that has the right colors.  When you do the macbeth chart, how does that work?

I can't wire in the printer.  It has to be in another room.

I'm currently using Canon papers just to stay within brand.
