Magenta cast on prints

Community Beginner ,
Mar 15, 2025 Mar 15, 2025

Printing from Lightroom Classic on a Macbook, to a Canon ImagePrograf Pro-300.  I'm using the Print tab, and at the very bottom, there is a section called Color Management.  If, in Color Management,  I select a paper profile I downloaded from the paper manufacturer, I get a magenta cast.  However, if I set Color Management  to "managed by printer," there is no magenta cast.  This is a sudden change.  I've printed using Lightroom to manage colors many times before.  From what I have read, this behavior means I'm I am somehow managing color from more than one source, but I cannot figure out what the sources could be.  

 

The only thing I have found that is different is that, when I choose to let the printer manage color, in the printer dialog under "color," the box for Canon color is checked, but if I choose a paper profile, and look at the print dialog under "color," then ColorSync is checked (see attached screen shots).

 

I admit I was poking around in the ColorSync application earlier today, trying to learn what it is/does, so I could have changed something.  I'm way out of my depth here.  Is there some way the operating system on my Macbook is managing color and interfering with Lightroom managing it?

So, I disabled the Lightroom plug-in for Canon Professional Print and Layout (a software program that I installed when I bought the printer, but have never been able to get it to work right), and now my prints do not have a magenta cast when I choose a paper profile in Lightroom...so I guess I fixed it?
