Try repairing permissions and deleting caches, especially the ColorSync cache. You can use a free utility like Onyx to do this easily.

To use the Colormunki I have to print the test charts with no color processing at all. Due to the fact that the Canon drivers for this printer do not provide a way to do this, the workaround is to use the "Generic RGB" profile. In order to use that, one must choose "More Profiles..." under the "Color Options" tab of the print dialog.

I don't know what could cause this. Colorsync app says all the profiles are fine. The disk checks out OK under Disk Utility (and Tech Tool Pro). Resetting the printing system and reinstalling the Canon drivers didn't help either.

I know there is one, because Colorsync does not list all the profiles present on the system - for example, under /Library/Colorsync/Printers, only the printers actually present on the system have their profiles included.
