Printer profiles are profiles that tell the printer how much of what color ink to use to print on a specific paper to obtain the results closest to what is in the image file itself.
Monitor profiles tell the monitor how to display the image to obtain the most accurate display of the image so that you don't correct what doesn't need correcting in your image editing software. When what you see is what you print on paper, that's as good as it gets. I'm out of here.
