Color profile doesn't give me Print Settings and also ignored by ColorSync Utility App

To really understand my issue, please watch my screen recording video.

It's been 1 month since I printed artwork. Now that I'm printing again, I've run into an issue. My ICC custom color profile is no longer allowing me to access the Print Settings button in Photoshop, nor is it being recognized by the ColorSync Utility app.

The only changes during this one month time was 1) I upgraded my OS to the latest Monterey. I think it was version 12.2 before. And 2) I updated my Photoshop to the latest version 23.3.2.

I'm NOT using Big Sur like many others that had the Print Settings button issue. I'm on a M1 Macbook Pro, OS v12.4 Monterey.

Thanks for helping solve this, or... you're welcome if this brings you comfort because you're experiencing the same problem.

I solved the issue by using iStudio (from Calibrite) to "Optimize Profile". I selected my problematic profile and optimized it, and then saved it. Photoshop and ColorSync are having no issues with it now.

Zip and upload the ICC profile you built to something like DropBox so we can examine that problematic profile.

Rebuild the profile again, do NOT select Version 4.X, use V2. Better?

It's been 1 month since I printed artwork. Now that I'm printing again, I've run into an issue. Photoshop, when using my ICC custom color profile (made with Xrite's ColorMunki Photo in 2020), no longer allows me access to the Print Settings button. My custom color profile is also not being recognized by the ColorSync Utility app.

The only changes during this one month time was 1) I upgraded my OS to the latest Monterey. I think it was version 12.2 before. And 2) I updated my Photoshop to the latest version 23.3.2.

Right, that profile was hosed (wonky). I couldn't get it to show up for printing in numerous applications besides than Photoshop. Plus when I tried to load it into X-rite's i1Profiler, that product told me it wasn't even an X-rite profile. So this is yet another bug from X-rite I believe. Good news that the optimization fixed it, but the cause and issue is solely on X-rite.
