Canon MP980 Printer Settings - Photo Rag Paper

Not sure that this is an Aperture problem as such but, using Aperture 2.1.4, I am having difficulty with Canon MP980 printer settings to print on Canon 'Photo Rag' paper. Printer driver gives me a code 88 error re margins.
Has anyone any ideas?

In case anyone sees this, the problem seems to have been solved - but I have no idea how this happened. Suddenly Quality and Media, Colour options, etc became available, but no idea what I did to produce this. As a PC user of 20 years experience, I thought this only happened with Microsoft, clearly I was wrong.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Since upgrading to Mavericks, my Canon MP980 printer no longer works. I've tried deleting the printer and adding it again. I've downloaded the driver software from Canon. My Mac dropbox tells me "the selected printer software is available from Apple", but when I click to download it, the process ends with my mac saying the software is not currently available from the software update server.

Open Finder and click on Go > Go to Folder. Then type
/Library/Printers/Canon
and press Enter. This will show the BJPrinter and iJScanner folders. You could try moving or trashing this folder and then installing the driver that you downloaded from Canon again.

Since upgrade to Mountain Lion my scanner and Image Capture program will not work ( have a Canon MP980 printer/scanner). How do I correct?

I recently installed Mountain Lionn on my iMac. After installing the Image Capture program no longer allowed me to scan - I immediately received an error message. Even when I tried to scan directly from the printer/scanner (Canon MP980) I received the same message. Scanner worked fine with 'Lion' How do I correct this problem now?

Print Settings--Photo Grayed-out

Hi all,
Just updated to Tiger and this morning tried to print a photo for the wife on my trusty MFC-210C multifunction printer. Heretofore have been able to get lovely photo-quality prints out of it using Panther, but to my surprise, the 'Print Settings' won't let me click on 'Photo' or 'Glossy,' only 'Fine.' The pics come out grainy and horrible.
Have updated the driver and re-added the printer to no avail.
I see some other folks have had this problem, but have read no answers for it yet. Is this an evil plot to make us buy iLife and purchase all our photos through iPhoto? Or am I just an insufficient nerd?
All help much appreciated.
-Ben
P.S. iBook G4, 60 gigs, plenty o' RAM, airport express, Tiger.

Do you know what version of Pages you have? You can find out by selecting "About Pages" from the Pages menu while it is running. In the first release of Pages, v 1.0, the Print icon didn't work. This was fixed with the v 1.0.1 update not long after the initial release. The current version is 1.0.2. If you have not moved the iWork folder containing the Pages application from your Applications folder, Software Update should let you know there is an update available.
If you are running version 1.0.1/2, the non-active icon might be due to not having a printer set up. I don't know for sure, but it is a possibility.

Problems printing photoshop photos

Recently I have developed issues printing photos from my machine. The problems started when I installed my new Canon Pixma printer. Photos would appear perfect on my monitors (which are regularly calibrated with a ColorMunki) but when I would go to print them from lightroom they would appear very very dark. I tried then printing from windows and had the same problem. What is exceptionally strange is that, when I go to print from windows, the print preview actually shows the problem:
The image (when printed for the first time) will apear properly in the print preview for maybe a second, and then suddenly go dark.
The particularly odd thing is that his only seems to occur with photos produced with photoshop or lightroom. As a test I printed two pictures I had recieved from an online newsletter. One printed fine. The other did not. It turns out (by looking at the photo properties) one had been produced using photoshop, and the other had not. I have attempted to turn off printer color management on the canon, but it had no effect. I also now have the same problem when printing from the epson printer on my system.
I am running Windows 7 64. I have an Epson Artisan and Canon Pixma printer installed on my machine. Previous to the problem I had the Epson and an HP photosmart. I have been in contact with Canon customer support, and they seem unwilling to entertain the possibility that this is anything other than an Adobe issue. Any thoughts? I'm just about all out of ideas.
Thanks in advance.

I primarily print from one of three programs. Lightroom and Window's photo viewer, and on occation PrintMaster (when printing a digital scrapbook). The problem mostly occurs in Lightroom and Windows, though strangely printing from Printmaster even comes out slightly darker. The screen grab from above is using the windows photo viewer.
I have attempted upon printing to go into the print dialogue and disable any color correction:
This has provided no change whatsoever as well.
Again, the problem only occurs with photos produced by adobe software. As an experiment I took a picture I took from the Renaissance Faire that I processed through Lightroom. I then stuck that in PrintMaster and exported it. I changed nothing.
Here they are side by side:
Here are the print results:
The problem even occurs with photos not produced on my machine. Canon sent a test photo for me to print. A look in the properties showed it to be processed by Photoshop CS5. Same results. Overly dark.
When printing from lightroom, I print with "managed by printer" selected. In this case I have left the canon print settings at auto, manual with "driver driven" and these did not help. Changing to manual with ICM set with an input profile of "Adobe RGB (1998)" This print printed close, but was a little light. I also tried disabling the driver settings again, took lightroom off the printer managed setting, and set lightroom to "Canon IJ Color Printer Profile 2005" This produced the best print yet.
However, the problem I'm having is that when printing from Windows Photo Viewer I STILL get that same darkening, not matter what I do to the print settings. And the problem persists with the Epson printer as well. So, I feel like I'm making progress, but there is still something messed up. Idylically, I would like to be able to let the printer drivers do their thing, as I have in the past, but something seems to be getting in their way.

Print Settings in 10.5

Hi
i dont see the Print setting full menu any more (since 10.5) I see Printer and Presets (although in the presets I get Standars or Last Used only)
i need to get to get to that 3rd drop down that let me chose the print settings, color management, paper type etc.
did it go away or am I missing something critlcal?

You made need to check your printer drivers. Sometimes GIMP drivers can cause more problems than needed

HP 7280 printing streaky photos

I have been printing photos for a few years with my HP 7280 all in one with no issues. However, recently many of the photos are streaky on the left hand edge of the photo only (probably 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch looks very grainy and you can see the dots/pixels). I printed the photos out at a local store and the photos were fine. I use windows vista and print using my home wifi network.
I did a test print out and it looked fine. Any advice?
Thanks

Hi moist!   There are reasons why did get lines when you print a photo -
1.Paper type
2 cartridge issue
3. printhead issue -Printhead for this printer is non acessable when u open the printer
In your case it would be Printhead issue-.
Suggestion would be To clean printhead by acessing Set up Menu > Tools menu > CLEAN Printhead
   :IF it is not resolved try to clean the printhead again
   :If it is still not resolved - its better to get an upgraded printer rather than you keep experiencing this kind of issue
(it will cost your time,effort and money to get this thing done rather than getting a new upgraded printer)
Note: You can call Tech Support For HP - They will provide you upgraded option -
             Since you have the printer for years now- they will have a good discounted price for a new printer

Why do I not have access to all the features of my Canon MG5320 printer in all applications which use a printer? The printer has two paper paths. The rear path is used for photo paper and other specialty papers. this is only one "unavailable".

I have an iMac late 2012 with OSX 10.8.
The MG5320 has two paper feed paths; one at the rear for photo paper, brochure paper, and other specialty papers and a tray for regular 8½x11 paper. It also can print on CDs and DVDs and has an automatic duplexer. Canon provides a utility for printing on the CDs and DVDs and also for printing photos and other specialty items. This is available in Mac format also. I installed the most recent drivers and utilities.
I also have a HP IBM Compatible computer on which the above printer as well as an Epson are installed. Every option of each printer is available in every software application that has need for a printer.
The Mac printer dialog varies from one application to another. The only applications that list the option for selecting paper quality which includes photo paper are Office for Mac, Pages, and Numbers. Not likely that I would be using any of these for photo printing. Auto duplexing, however, is not available here or in any other applications.
The print dialog in Aperture, Photoshop Elements for Mac, ACDSee for Mac, or iPhoto provide the choice of numerous sizes of paper but no option for paper quality. Therefore, I attempted to use the print utility supplied by Canon and updated by Apple for printing some photos. The photos are selected in this utility. When the print command was given I was shown a message that the printer was being reset. It then began printing a spreadsheet, which was not even open, from the front tray on regular paper in fast draft quality.
It is essential that the rear feed be available for printing photos. The printer will not accept photo paper from the front tray. The greater proportion of my printing is photos or other specialty items all of which use paper that must be fed from the rear feed.
An acquaintence who considers himself to be somewhat of a Mac expert insists that the printer options that I require are available and all I need to do is look for them. The print dialog should be clear enough that "looking for options" is not a necessity. Even so, I have dilligently searched every variation of the Mac print dialog on my iMac and only the office type applications named above included anything other than the basic printer functions.
I have also searched numerous locations online without finding a solution. I did, however, find that printing and printing problems seem to be common with several versions of the Mac OS and Mac computers in general.
I would appreciate it if someone could provide me with a solution. I have no desire to upgrade my Windows OS to Windows 8 which is perhaps suitable for "smart" phones but not desktop computers. However, because of the printing issue I have temporarily put my iMac aside and reverted to using my PC with Windows Vista.
Help!!

This is a user forum I feel you need to deal with Adobe customer services or support chat did not work in you case.

Error 88 or Support Code 88 in Canon Driver printing on art paper from Lightroom

Re: Error 88 (Support Code 88) of Canon Printer Driver, using Pixma Pro9500 - April 20, 2014
I'm replying to myself from two years ago, and to the rest of you, regarding Error 88. (My question of April 2012 is in the Photoshop department of Adobe Community. For those who don't know but are reading this anyway for some reason, Error 88 is a message from the Canon Printer Driver that tells you you haven't set the paper size correctly for printing on fine-art paper. But it may appear anyway, even if your settings are correct.)
At the time I found no resolution to the problem, just a workaround: to print from Lightroom itself. Too bad this was after months of hassle and expense, including a probably fraudulent (and certainly useless) repair (supposedly replacing the Pixma's logic board and paper sensor), and the ministrations of a techie who could only conclude there was something wrong with my copy of Photoshop which provoked the Error 88. But he made me realise I could print from Lightroom, and that's what I've been doing ever since. (The possibility had never occurred to me, as my routine of printing from Photoshop was working fine.) This has been a good move after all, since Lightroom offers many advantages over PS where printing is concerned: tonal controls and more in Develop, and the possibility of creating a Saved Print.
But to print from Lightroom, I had to crop my printing files to the image. (In PS I had always created a document the same size as the paper I planned to use – A4 or A3+ – and positioned the image where I wanted, with margins all around. But in Lightroom I set margins and position in Print Mode, starting with a borderless file.) This was a bit of work, but unavoidable, and a good thing on the whole. So for a couple of years I printed in this way.
But meanwhile, my 2009 iMac was developing other problems, and finally I had to replace it. (After only two or three years of use, it was shutting down spontaneously, a problem no one was able to resolve, about which every techie has a different opinion, and about which Apple is completely mute and unresponsive; thank you Apple Computer for your supposedly ultra-reliable products – I can only say it’s a good thing you don’t make pacemakers).
So for about ten weeks now I have a nice shiny new 2013 iMac, but I’m keeping my fingers crossed. Also I have the new OS Mavericks, new versions of Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 5, the new Canon Driver. I have my complaints about the OS (particularly a few interface/viewing design choices that strike me as colossally stupid and unnecessary), but that's beside the point here.
Having not yet printed with the new setup (nor for a few months before), and knowing that it's good to use your Pixma now and then, I thought I'd dedicate a few hours to printing. I figured it could work out easy, since I planned to print from Saved Prints. But as soon as I hooked it all up, checked my settings, and clicked Print, I see the printer icon bouncing in the Dock with its little yellow trouble flag. I check that out and am very dismayed to see my old nemesis, Error 88, which tells me I haven't set the paper size correctly. But it's correct, of course. (As before, I'm printing on fine art paper, A3+.) Beg your pardon, Canon now calls it "Support Code 88", thinking of all the Support you'll get from them.
I tried a few of the obvious things: start/restart computer, printer, Lightroom, etc., but to no avail. Also, supposing that my Saved Prints were perhaps no longer valid in the new LR, I tried to print directly from the file, bypassing the Saved Print, but no go.
I should also note that, in Page Setup, the Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) was new to me – seems to me you could set “A3+ Art Margins”. A3+ as I know it from the fine-art papers I use is 329x483mm anyway (also as given in Page Setup), if that makes any difference.
If it's any use, here are some particulars on the current situation:
iMac 27”, late 2013, 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB, Mac OSX 10.9.2
Lightroom 5.3 (Camera RAW 8.3)
Photoshop CS6 (version 13.0 x64)
Canon PrinterDriver_Pro9500 series_108420 (10.84.2.0)
And my settings: LR Page Setup: set “Art A3+ (Margin 35)”System Prefs/Printers & Scanners – set Default paper size “Super B/A3” (330x483mm) (found via “Format For:” in Page Setup)LR Print Settings:
Printer: Canon Pro9500 series (exclamation point – not recognized?)
Presets: Last Used Settings
Color Matching: Canon
Paper Handling: All Pages – Automatic – NO “Scale to fit paper size” (but “Destination Paper Size, though grayed out, reads “Suggested Paper: Art A3+ (Margin 35”)
Quality & Media: Media Type: Fine Art “Photo Rag” (or “FA Museum Etching” or “FA Matte”); Paper Source: Front Tray; Print Quality: High; YES Grayscale Printing
Color Options:
Color Mode: Standard; C-M-Y and Tone all left at zero
Brightness: Normal; Intensity and Contrast both left at zero
It all looks kosher to me. Does anybody know anything about this problem? I'll be very grateful.

Missing "Print Settings" in Canon printer dialog

Hi,
I've Googled all over for this, but I haven't found an answer to this particular question. Maybe someone in here would know?
I want to print a photo from Lightroom 3 on a MacBook Pro running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. I have a Canon MP800R printer. I want Lightroom to manage the color, and I'm able to choose the glossy paper profile I want in the Print Job pane in Lightroom. However, when I click Print and get to the part where I should turn off color management in the printer dialog I'm not able to do so. There is no Print Settings section in the dialog box. As far as I understand, all the important stuff goes on in this Printer Settings section, see http://www.computer-darkroom.com/lr2_print/lr2-print.htm. Why don't I see Print Settings?
I should add that if I go ahead anyway with Lightroom managed printing the colors are off, but if I use Managed by Printer the colors look decent.
Jan

OK and to be sure: Do you have Color Management by Printer set to OFF ?
It's under -I have a Canon Pixma 5000- Color Intensity-
then:
That works fine here.
(btw A Canon photoprinter like the Pixma 4820 is very good and cheap.)

Photoshop Print Settings - what to use - photos look awful.

I don't know what I did but when I go to print a photo the Photoshop Print Settings pop up. Which is better - Printer manages color or Photoshop? I don't know how to change my Printer Profile. I have search HP for over 3 hours. I have an Officejet Pro 8600 and can't seem to find anywhere to change it. The photoshop print settings the Printer Profile is :sRGB IEC61966-2.1. Under Color Management - Please use Adobe Color Printer Utility if you need to print with No Color Management - also didn't work. The more I do the worse it gets. The prints for instance arms showed dark specks. Look awful. I have an iMac and am using the iMac settings in my color profile in preferences. Any ideas?

I'll go along with that. Use the printer manufacture's software and paper, and you at least have a chance of things working out. I went through years of hassle with various Epson printers, even spending serious money having a custom profile made, but the results were never great, and the Internet showed I was not alone. Since switching to Canon with a Pixma 9000Pro, and using Canon's EasyPhotoPrintPro software, it just works first time every time, so I can thankfully circumvent all that printer profile mylarky. Incidentally, I do use other paper, principally Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl, which works as well as Canon paper. But I almost never enter competitions nowadays, so have not used the photo printer in over a year. I bet it cost $25 in ink just turning the thing on, and I can get a professionally printed A3 for that money, and I don't have a third of my desktop taken up by a rarely used printer.

Print settings missing from Elements 8.0 for my canon ip4820

I have the exact installation on my windows 7 pc and I get a detail screen with 5 print settings, on the macbook with Lion I get only 3 settings and I can't bring up the canon printer settings dialogue that allows me to set standard, photo, etc along with borderless, high quality, etc, you get the idea I think. On mac I only get 1. Select printer 2. select paper size, and 3. select print size. On windows 7 I have installed the same printer and I get 1-5 which includes also step 2 is a "printer settings" which includes a change settings and brings up an advanced settings box.
Any Help is appreciated.

Well I am using a mac with photoshop elements and I imagine the print settings would be the same whether it was elements or full photoshop. Maybe someone could provide a helpful response for a beginner here, thanks in advance. but I'll look around for a more appropriate forum if there is one.

MX850 Canon Printing Red Photos

HI All,
I'm having trouble with the MX850 Canon Printer in that whenever I print a photo, it prints with a coppery red look to it - even if it's a black and white photo!!!
I've reinstalled the driver, replaced the inks (twice!), tried various settings (e.g. normal v glossy paper, standard v custom printing etc) and called the Canon Support number three times (they were rubbish!).
If I print text or when I connect the printer to a Virtual Machine, it prints normally, so I don't think it's a hardware problem.
Also - I don't use the printer excesively, and have had no other problems with it. All other printing seems fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!

How can I stop Acrobat from overriding a printer's draft settings and printing in photo quality?

Regardless of which settings I choose for my printer, Acrobat always prints in maximum quality.
The printer works as expected with every other application I have, from Photoshop, Word and Pages, to Preview and Mail. But when I print a PDF via Acrobat or Reader, the printer lays down so much ink that the paper sometimes comes out damp.
If it matters, the printer is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400, and I'm using Acrobat 8.2.6 and Reader 10.0.3 on a Mac Pro running OS 10.6.7.
To reiterate, every other app I use respects the Epson printer dialog settings when it comes to printing in economy mode. I've looked around in Acrobat's print settings and can find absolutely nothing along the lines of "print in draft quality." Am I the only person who doesn't want, or need, to burn up expensive printer cartridges unnecessarily?
This has been a problem since I bought the software, and it behaved the same way with my old printer (an Epson Stylus Photo 800). I don't need to print very many PDFs, but when I do, the printer wastes an enormous amount of ink.
I'm not looking for a workaround, I just want to be able to open a PDF in Acrobat or Reader, hit CMD-P, choose the economy print setting, and have it actually print in low resolution.
Being able to print a draft copy of a PDF seems to be a perfectly reasonable expectation when using software from the very company that developed the PDF standard in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated.

Understood. I've already checked for driver updates, and am already using the most current version. I really appreciate your trying to help, ... let's hope someone out there has some suggestions, too.
Cheers,
Francis
