Printer Color Management missing

Hey all

So I am using a Canon Pixma Pro 100s printer, and also Photoshop CC and I used to be able to print using the color management settings in my print dialogue setting box. But I restored my mac laptop and reinstalled Photoshop a month back and now just getting back to printing.

Now, when I open the print settings in photoshop print window, the color option has disappeared and I cannot seem to get the colours right on my prints.

Please see the screenshot to see where the print option would've been and its not there anymore.

Can anyone provide any clue to where its gone or what I might have to do?

Thanks!

    There are two ways to go here. Either Photoshop manages color, or printer manages color. You've chosen the first.

    You need to set the correct profile under "printer profile" in the main PS dialog. You currently have it set to sRGB, which is wrong.

    The profile you want here is for the paper type you're using, and will be called "<printer model> premium glossy paper" or something equivalent.

    Under Mac OS printer color management is automatically turned off when PS manages color. But you should still set the correct paper type in the printer driver (this controls total amount of ink).
