There is a bug that was introduced in OS X 11.2 that breaks the use of these
ICC profiles in Photoshop. All you can do is downgrade up upgrade (12.X isn't
affected). That is why it isn't playing nice, or playing at all. Lightroom
Classic doesn't work either.
Other than that, one could convert to the output color space and use another
application that prints without color management like the Adobe Color Print
Utility.
No, using Printer Manages Color will not fix this issue. You can use that,
without a full color management path (pick the profile, the RI etc) but it is
either PMC or AMC and in Photoshop, under 11.2 and apparently 11.3, broken.
