Restricted to generic papers - Specific canon papers grayed out?

Question

I am attempting to print a "Profile Target Image" so that I can receive a Profile for my printer. 
I'm using Photoshop CS4 and checked the "no color management" for Photoshop and have also disable color management for the printer.
I.  I begin by checking the PRINT button on the Photoshop CS4 menu -
2. Than I check the "no color management" on the Print menu and click on the print button at bottom of Print Menu
3. Then I click on following: Layers than Quality & Media than Media Type.  The generic papers are listed and are in black but the Canon's Specific papers are listed but are grayed out. Therefore, I can't  choose any of Canon's papers as I set up parameters to print my Profit Target Image.
I'm new at this.  What are I doing wrong?  Would greatly appreciate any help you could provide.

Russ,
Sorry, I didn't fully explain in my first post.
When you print the target, you don't want to influence the output in any way by any kind of color management. And you've taken care of that by allowing neither the printer or PS to manage color.
But the system does control some mechanical parameters that you want to be the same for the profiling step as it will be when you are actually printing to your desired paper. Those parametes include printing resolution, whether printing will be bi-diretcional, print speed, "print quality" which is a combination of these kinds of factors, etc.
The program and the printer drivers try to be smarter than us (rather, the programmers of these try to prevent us from certain combinations of settings they they feel don't belong together) and present certain combinations of settings only. That's why you're getting the error message. You probably need to set Page Size correctly as the driver doesn't accept the paper type and the page size as valid combinations (the paper type probably doesn't come in the size you currently have set for Page Size).
Once you have that "error" cleared, set all the parameters in the Print Dialog just as you will when really printing. That means, selecting the correct printer name, all your desired settings in "Print Settings," "Printer Color Management" (off - none) and "Paper Configuration." You can save all these settings under a meaningful title in the Print dialog in "Presets." These are the printing conditions for your target file and for actual printing when using the profile generated from these conditions.
Hope that makes sense.
