Confusion with color management setting in the print module versus my printer on a Windows machine.

Hello,

In lightroom, I have changed the color management setting from Managed by Printer to a specific profile available for my Canon printer.

 

Is this sufficient or do I have to make any changes to the color management settings for my printer?

 

If I do have to make color management changes for my printer, how do I do it?

 

I am running with a Windows 11 machine and the Canon PIXMA Pro 200 printer.

 

Thanks In Advance.

You have to disable color management in the printer driver, otherwise colors will be wrong.

I have no experience with Canon printers, but I found this, which seems to be the option you need to use.
