The G650 is the same printer (but with a scanner), In the US the 650 is the G620 Wireless MegaTank Photo Printer.

Note that the profile made here is specifically for use with the Mac AirPrint driver - it may work on Windows if using the printer manages colour option and the profile. For making Widows profiles for this printer, the ccStudio/iStudio will work just fine.
