Need help from other Canon Pro users and X-Rite user:
Given:
I am setting up my new Canon Pro-2000.
Have the X-Rite iProfiler
Issue #1:
Want:
Build initial ICC profile for Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta 325gsm paper
Issues:
1. Printing from the i1 Profiler to 8.5x11 sheet paper of just 400 patches = 1 sheet of paper.
Click on "Print" in the i1Profile screen. Opens "Print" dialog box, click on Quality & Media - try to change the default setting of "Roll Paper (Auto) to "Cut Sheet". CAN'T DO! SETTING I WANT IS GRAYED OUT.
Also want to use the "Print Quality" setting of "Highest" but that is also grayed out.
QUESTION: Must I save the Chart 400 Patches and print through Lightroom Canon Plug In?
2. In an attempt to just get started, I have downloaded the manufacturers ICC profile and placed it in Computer-Library-ColorSync but the Canon print driver does not see it?
QUESTION: What am I missing? I changed the file to All Users for read and write but that made no difference.

Experimenting and finding must save patches to a tiff file, import to LR6, then use Canon's Print Studio Pro as follows:

Import patch file
Go to Print Studio Pro via Plug In

Paper Size: 11.0w X 8.5h
Paper Source: Cut Sheet

Then to the “Print” dialog box – go to Paper Handling – turn off “Scale to fit paper size.

Be sure to use the Canon Printer utility that syncs mac OS updates with printer paper updates from MCT. You should start new papers in Canon's MCT and its in there you can define roll/sheet.
FYI This may not be your problem, but X-rite colormunki photo has a software issue that prevents new papers being profiled with pro 2/4k printers. Having setup a new custom paper in MCT, synced using printer utility, it fails to appear in munki's Printer settings Media Type drop-down when trying to print munki colour targets. There may be a workaround by saving targets to a PDF then printing from Photoshop, but not had time to verify. From the sounds of support (who having checked/confirmed my issue with 'corporate') gave a low chance of a fix as munki is....somewhat old (!). Still investigating, but since i1 is regularly updated this issue may not exist.
