imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 Canon color profiles not showing up in Photoshop

I've been having a problem with my Canon color profiles not showing up under the "Photoshop manages color" drop down for some time.  Sometimes they are there and sometimes they are not.  I don't know if my Mac is hiding them or if it's photoshop or what, but when they were missing, I used to be able to go to printers in system preferences and add another printer and click the canon pro 1000 and it would create another driver (pro 1000 (2)...) and then the profiles would be there. I would have like 6 or 7 Pro 1000s on my Mac.  But now that doesn't even work.  I've deleted the printers and downloaded the drivers again and no luck. Does anyone have any ideas?

They must be copied from here: library> printers> Canon> BJPrinter> Resources>  ICCProfiles>  -Then control-click on the printer you use ie. Pro 10 or Pro 100  [that one threw me] and choose in the dropdown menu: show package contents.   From there you see Contents> Resources>   All the profiles appear to be copied and then pasted in correct location:

 Library> Colorsync> Profiles "

Thanks. Saw that and found them, but wasn't sure whether I needed to move all of them or could just pick out the pro-1000 ones.  They also seem old.  Until I moved to Big Sur (I think that's the problem) I had all of them in Photoshop.  I'm specifically looking for the Pro Luster Profile. all my best,

 

This didn’t work for me—but I completely eradicated all Canon software and library items, hidden and not, and then reinstalled printer. It worked! But I had to remove everything first. 

You only need to move the ones you want.

The profiles would be dated consistent with the release date of the Pro-1000 - Nov 2015.

Finally got it to work. Thank you.  Very temperamental since the last updates - I hadn't used my printer for a while.  It disappeared altogether for a while today.

Thanks - it worked for my problem with new mac operating system

Following along...it is really sad that Canon won't just update their driver installer, and push an update out that would simply place profiles where they belong.  There is no good excuse for making this so hard for users.

It's great that there are always community members that can save the day...but this is so fixable (by Canon) that it is sad and frustrating.

I did follow these steps, copied all the ICC profiles listed and I still don't see any of then in Lightroom or Photoshop? Any idea what might be wrong? 

My guess is that you have the AirPrint driver installed. Go to System Preferences->Printers & Scanners, click the + button to add a printer 🖨️ and wait for the IJ Series driver to appear. It could take several minutes.

I rechecked all your steps and I did get them all copied over )thank you!!!). Turns I didn't reboot. Once I did that, voila. Thank you!!
