I agree with Andrew, here are my own notes: There is apparently a bug in Mac OSX Big Sur 11.6.2 in connection with ICC profile use / printing, Some users have reported success after updating to Monterey, personally I'd be more likely to go back a version rather than jumping into a new OSX version soon after release. Sadly this bug appears to still be present in 11.6.3, according to users here who have made that upgrade.

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.

Hello all.
Sorry if this has already been asked and answered. I've not been here for quite a while.
I'm trying to help someone working in a school environment where the macOS (Big Sur) on their aging computers, together with their Epson and Canon printers is facing problems when trying to print using the traditional way of letting LrC or PS manage the color, choosing the printer/paper profile in the print dialogue, and then turning OFF printer CM. For whatever reason this is not playing nice.
I'm suggesting as a temporary workaround that they convert the image to the printer/paper profile in PS (using a copy of the original image) and then send it to the printer using "Printer manages color" while still turning OFF the printer color management.
Is there any reason this workaround will not work? I just did a test today on two 5x7" color targets printed on the same 8.5x11" paper (top/bottom - sent through the printer twice) and they're close to being identical. I suspect that any difference is due to the combination of options I used (Perceptual, Relative Colorimetric, Absolute Colorimetric / Black Point Compensation, Dither).
If I use the same options in the convert to profile as I would in PS's printer dialogue will/should the output result look the same?
Thanks for any help :-)
Russell
