print-tool 2.4.0 works for me as it should, color matching and rendering intent is and stays greyed out when no colormangment is selected.

....BUT READ THIS:

I just tried again with print-tool. It is the same as in the video I posted. When I click cancel once it enables the settings and jumps to the wrong one for Canon.
Claude told me the difference would be that if an image is untagged then print-tool would automatically assign a profile. But this would just be a guess and always be rgb even when the image might be cmyk (not sure if this is correct btw. just what Claude said). So it recommended not to do it. But the driver behaviour is the same as what I showed in the video for ChromIQ.

Driver is correct - I double checked. But make sure to try the latest version of ChromIQ. Claude made changes to it for Canon that were not in the version you tried when it failed.

The late Bill Atkinson who developed many of the torture tests that we use to check profiles was one of the original coders of Mac OS in the early days. He must be rolling over in his grave because of how Apple consistently screws up color management.

I also had a problem with the refine function and should have reported it. It went to the correct strips that contained the problem patch but did not write the data in the correct place. Fortunately, I did save the log for that day and have posted it to your GitHub account. When I did a profile two days ago, I did not use refine as the max error was only 1.3 and I did not want to screw things up.

But in those menus: when you click cancel once and immediately open the again - is it still this way? Not closing the whole printer dialog, only those options. Ok works fine for me. Only cancel causes issues.
