Canon Pixma Pro-10 printing problem

Hello,
I had my printer for little bit over a year, with no problems, until recently.
I am still using the same paper, which is Ilford Gold Mono, but it happened on several other papers as well.
Basically, it seems that carriage grabs the edge of paper and moves it a bit, which creates the effect- see example attached.
I called the Canon service, but since printer is out of 1 year warranty now, they kicked me back to local repair shop.
I am still hoping that I myself can do something to fix this.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Nobody, hah? 
Thanks anyway.

  • Canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors

    canon pixma pro 9500 having problems with my print out. colors are glazed and missing colors
    i have prfiled the mac and printer wiht colormunki and uplodated the profile sucessfully
    i set the printer to correct icc profile
    print out comes out same with glazed colors and missing tones/colors
    however when i use the same printer on windows and with light room, following same icc profile, colormunki calibrated profile, the print our are excellent.
    i have also tried using printer manage profile using the Mac and Aperture and get same poor prints
    can  you please assist and thanks

    I've a Pro9000 and also use Colormunki successfully.
    When I use Colormunki, I calibrate both of my monitors and the printer/paper combination. Colormunki saves the generated profiles to the correct places -- I don't load or change any profiles after that as that would mess-up what the Colormunki had just done for me, and this would likely mess-up the prints.
    Though I double-check the settings in the print dialogue, the choice for the printer handling things is already grayed-out. Colorsync handles it all just fine.

  • Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer ejects 3.8 in of a 4X6 paper and prints only 2.2 in of the image printing from Photoshop CS6, I'm sure I set everything correctly - what could I be missing?

    Using Mac Pro running Snow Leopard (10.6.8) & editing & printing from Photoshop CS 6.
    Have new Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer and set it up yesterday.  First thing printed was a
    document from MS Word (a letter) 8.5 X 11 plain paper - this came out OK.  Next I fire up
    Photoshop and open a 4 X 6 inch image to do a test print.  I set it up in the print dialog as
    4X6 paper, Canon's Pro Glossy paper profile, rear tray, standard print quality, Photoshop
    manages the color.  I load the paper in the rear tray close the covers and hit print.  Now, when
    it starts to print the printer moves about 3.8 inches of paper out of the printer and starts printing
    on the remaining 2.2 inches then spits the paper out.  It does this in Photoshop (any image it doesn't
    matter), and it does it printing from Capture NX.  I have been able to get it to print on the paper
    correctly using Apple's Preview program but that that's not going to do me any good.  I was on
    the phone with Canon tech support for about 2 hours and they were completely puzzled suggesting
    I would have to use Canon's printing apps instead to print - that doesn't do me any good either.
    I want to be able to print from Photoshop.  Any one every heard of this or experienced the same
    problem? Thanks JamesD!

    Hello again. I recognize that a print is good if you like it and bad if you don't, despite what others might say, but I will at least share my experiences. They might help you or others who are following this thread.
    My monitor is calibrated with Spyder 3. Gamma 2.2, 6500K, 83 cd/m^2. Contrast at 50%; brightness about 52%. My monitor lets me choose blackness level - it defaults to 50%.
    When I print the test image I linked to above, using Lightroom, with no adjustments, my technical output is as follows:
    Middle step wedge shows twelve disticnt steps. Whitest step is color of unprinted paper.
    It varies from paper to paper, but I can discerne at least the 252 step and on some papers 253 - telling me I have good highlight detail.
    On the black side I discerne 8 or 10, nothing lower. (That sounds like what you are reporting).
    Artistically I am very happy how my print looks - nice red strawberries, good flesh tones, etc.
    One my monitor, the on-screen image is almost identical to the print. I am surprised that you can see the 2 wedge step on screen at a very similar brightness.
    I also checked out this B&W test image:
    http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/article_pages/bw_printing/bw-test-image-2.html
    You are probably aware of this since you are printing with Print Studio Pro, but others may not be.
    You can print a series of test images:
    find the one that best suits your taste, enter the calibration values in PSP, and save them as a custom setting. Then, each time you want to print recall the setting.
    You can do a similar thing in Lightroom using the printer driver and User Templates.
    There would be some one-time trial and error to that approach.

  • Canon Pixma Pro-100 prints very dark

    I see that this is a recuring problem with the Canon Pixma Pro-100, but as nothing I have found online helps I'm asking and are hoping that someone can solve this problem for me.
    Just picked up a Pixma Pro-100 today, and installed it on my 2011 iMac 27" (Yosemite) with downloaded drivers from Canon's website to be sure i have the latest ones. I also checked the printers firmware but that's the latest at 1.100. Wether I'm printing via Lightroom or Photoshop; or via Canon Print Studio Pro, My Image Garden, or via LR / PS directly; with- or without PS as color manager; the prints turns out to be much to dark.
    I have to set an exposure of +2/3 in LR to be anywhere close to getting the same result as on the screen. I'm also careful to select the right ICC profiles for the correct paper. My monitor is calibrated with an Spyder4pro and I also re-calibrated it during this process to see if that helped.
    Well. Long story short; the prints are to dark. So i borrowed my wife's 2013 MacBook Pro (Yosemite) Spyder4pro, and installed the latest drivers from Canon. Again; on this machine the prints are also to dark with about +2/3 to correct for the printer to do something that looks like the monitor. Both monitors are also set to about 30% brightness.
    I also have access to an Epson Stylus Photo R3000 and the prints from this comes out much brighter.
    Sadly I see that many others also have the same problem. So; here's the question. How do I fix this? Do i have to return the printer again and get a refund? Because this is clearly not good enough.
    Solved!

  • Canon PIXMA MG6320 driver - Print problem

    Canon PIXMA MG6320 driver - New printer, Windows XP Pro and Excel 2000 - printing 4 into 1 only prints the first page and preview print prints all of the pages while displaying the preview.  Tried it with administrative rights and had the same problems.  
    Any thoughts or suggestions?
    Thanks  
    Tried reinstalling driver from the Canon website, the problem remains.

    Hi Rhinomopolis,
    The actual page that is printed should appear just like the print preview.  If there is a mismatch between the print preview and the final output, it could be related to a setting on the printer or some other type of issue (out of ink, for example).  If the page does not appear properly in the print preview, review the settings in your printing application and try again.

  • New Canon Pixma Pro-100 printing with streaks on backgrounds

    Hello.  I just purchased the printer last week.  I'm operating on a MacBook Air.  I typically use LightRoom and Photoshop.  
    I'm a professional photographer and recently look a class at ICP and learned how to print there.  I was shocked at how beautiful the prints were.  This was using an Epson in a classroom.
    I did my research and talked to other photographers and decided the Pro-100 would be perfect for me, and so far, it is.
    I've had trouble with magenta casts when using LightRoom.  Switched to PhotoShop and got better results.  But some prints, especially those with a simple, plain background, faint lines appear across the page.
    Here's an example.  The lines appear top to bottom every 1/4 inch or so:

  • Canon Pixma MP500 wireless printing problem

    I've got this USB printer connected to an Airport Extreme base station. Wireless printing used to work fine, but doesn't anymore. I ensured that printer sharing is set in the Airport admin utility. Yesterday I spent about 30 minutes with a guy from AppleCare trying to troubleshoot this issue to no avail. Printing works fine if I plug the USB cable into the Powerbook. I'm using Canon-supplied drivers. But that was also the case when wireless printing used to work. So this problem is a bit strange and frustrating.
    My guess is that some security update or change in the OS is causing the problem. The Apple guy agreed, though he had no idea as to what the specific issue might be. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Rich
    PowerBook G4 15 1.67GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Hello Rich, Phil and Dave,
    I'll see if I can offer some advice to you all...
    Rich,
    Okay, first of all I want to check what you see in the Printer Browser > Default Browser. Under the heading Printer Name should be Canon MP500 and under the heading Connection should be Bonjour. If you select the printer, the Name, Location and Print Using should be automatically populated (Print Using should show Canon IJ Printer). Do you get this?
    If you do and can add the printer, then what happens when you attempt to print something?
    Phil,
    The -9672 is usually caused by the printer reporting it is a different model to the selected driver. Picking a different printer from the list of Canon's doesn't always work, as there is often control information in the driver comms that are specific for a model (otherwise you could have one driver for every printer). You should try running the Repair Permissions option in Disk Utility. Updates sometimes set some values back to system defaults, which can impact the ability of Mac to correctly identify a peripheral such as a printer.
    Dave the drummer,
    Do you notice the Airport signal strength when the printing fails? I have seen some printing fail like you describe when the signal drops too low. Is your wife's iBook located closer to the Airport than your PBG4?
    Also, I would try running the Repair Permissions option in Disk Utility.
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Canon Pixma Pro 9000 printer will not print for Lightroom 2.3 or Photoshop CS4

    When I hit the print button on either Lightroom or Photoshop CS4 to print using the "front tray", the printer sends a message to lower the tray for the back tray.  The Canon tech rep stated that when I  hit the Print button on Lightroom or Photoshop there should be "drop down window" which allows me to choose the "front tray".  Until I do this, the printer assumes that I am still using the back tray.  My question - why doesn't my Lightroom or Photoshop programs display this "drop down window" when I press the "print" button??  Please!! Can anyone help me??

    After so many attempts, I don't remember what the display was when I first requested for help.  I just trying everything that I
    could think of.
    I don't think that I downloaded the right Driver the first time.  As a last resort, I downloaded the Driver again from Canon and to my surprise, another menu appeared.  It was different from the previous ones and rather confusing.  The Canon tech had described what I should bd looking for and so I proceeded ahead one drop menu after another and finally the right menu appeared giving me the choice between the automatic back tray and the front tray.  After I clicked on the front tray, everything worked fine.
    Thanks, Was DYP, for taking time to attempt to help me.  It's my opinion that Canon's documentation was not complete and therefore created some confusion.

  • Canon pixma pro 9000II printing - color management and resolution settings

    1) is the printer color management automatically turned off when I select the paper in the color management profile drop down? Or do I need to do something else as well?
    2) a little bit of a newbie question, but I'm wondering what resolution to select (for presentation prints) - auto or 300 dpi. And again in the print dialogue box (under "quality and media"), whether to use high or standard. Wondering what to match with what, etc.
    Thanks.

    The answer to the first question appears to be yes. ColorSync is automatically enabled, and Canon Color Matching is automatically disabled.
    Some tips on the second question would still be helpful, however. Again, I'm curious about matching Aperture "print resolution" settings (auto, 300, 72, or custom) to the print dialogue "print quality" settings (high, standard, etc.) under the "quality and media."

  • I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer.  What exactly is OEM.  Is it a full version?  Can I transfer files between different computers?

    @

    OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
    Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

    I've just received my new canon pixma pro 100 printer & I'm having problems setting up. When powered up the printer instantly made a grinding noise. Switched it off a few times but the print head holder failed to slide along the rails. All stoppers & tapes have been removed so nothing to obstruct the set up process.
    Can anyone help or had similar issues?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Why I Got A Canon Pixma Pro 10

    I have had an Epson R3000 printer since it came out in 2011. I was getting puddled photo black ink marks on my Ultra Premium Luster Paper prints. Really liked the print detail, color and contrast. Heck I've used Epson printers since the mid 90's. I was getting exactly what is seen here     http://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3384029
    Must be getting surplus ink on the print head. Tried cleaning it but I didn't get the job done. Would like a removable print head. Never used anything but Epson inks and paper.
    Just couldn't take it any more. Started printing today with the Canon Pixma Pro 10. Seems to produce very nice prints IMO. Love the Canon Print Studio Pro plug-in for Photoshop.
    Please understand I not complaining. Just decided to move on...

  • Printing Issuse From Lightroom 4 To Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II

    I have been trying to print from Lightroom 4 to a Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MK II.   Whenever I try to print via the front try (for canvas) I get an error message (code 1281) and I cannot print.   I have tried a few different papers as well as canvas and all of them give the same error code.
    I have also tried printing from Elements 9 with the same problem.
    I can print via the front try using Canon's own software, Easy Print Pro, but I cannot soft proof the image first and I cannot the the correct size of image either.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can get round this problem?
    I have spoken to Canon and they have passed the buck saying that as I can print using thier software it is an Adobe issue.
    Printer: Canon Pixma Pro 9000 MKII
    Software: Adobe Lightroom 4
    Operating System: Lion OSX

    The final answer was as per Rikk Flohr's instructions,
    Lightroom>Print Module
    Print Settings button Bottom Left-hand Panel
    Set the Center Pull-down to Quality and Media
    Paper Source: Front Tray
    I was having difficulty finding these previously, thanks Rikk.

  • How to print from Lightroom 5 to Canon Pixma pro-100?

    Using Lightrooms printmodule with this printer is a big problem for me. Using Cannon Print studio Works, but then you
    loose a lot of great functionallity in LR print module.
    It seems that when I make a preset or set up printer with correct ICC profile the canon printer driver automatically resets to its own default.
    It looks like a print driver in the background resets everything i do. Very confusing and Canon support points to adobe.
    My setup:
    Macpro with  OSX 10.9.2  (latest version)
    Lightroom 5.3 (creative cloud member, always latest version)
    Canon Pixma pro-100 (bought new april 2014)
    I have looked several places on internett and it looks that there are a lot people having similar problems.
    I would appriciate any help to find an easy setup/soltion !
    Thanks in advance

    I have the Pixma Pro-100. But I'm using Windows 7, so I'm afraid I can't be a lot of help to you. I tried to help someone in another forum the other day and showed some screenshots, but he said he didn't have anything like that on the Mac.
    If you're going to use ICC profiles, you have to turn off color management either in the printer or in the printer driver. It doesn't matter which one, just make sure that it gets turned off. Then what I do is I use soft proofing with the appropriate paper profile to prepare a soft proof copy for printing. After I have set my printer settings the way I want them and have everything just right in Lightroom, I save the preset for printing. And it seems to keep what I have set. If you can show me some screenshots of your printer driver, perhaps I can be of assistance.
    Regardless of whether I allow Lightroom to manage the color or allow the printer to manage it, I am getting really nice prints. So I'm sure there's something that you are probably just overlooking.
