Lighroom 4 Printing Problem, tonal shift

I have had a couple of printing related problems with Lightroom 4. The output on my Epson 4880 is significantly different from what Photoshop produces and what the actual file looks like. I have a long and detailed explanation of this problem at the following link with images that illustrate the nature of the problem. If necessary, I can post the whole thing here.

  • Printing Problems - FH11 - shifted color values

    I am printing on a non-PostScirpt, ink-jet printer (LexMark
    X6190). When I print a document, with various combinations of text
    and photos, the colors on the header change. On a correct page, the
    header would be a medium wine red. But, on page with a photo
    (imported JPEG) the header color will shift to more of a light
    brown. And, occasionally, on pages with just text, the header color
    shifts to more of a pinkish value. Text colors (dark blue) do not
    shift from page to page.
    It "feels" like a color calibration problem, and that
    specifically in the red zone. And, LexMark Customer Service (after
    running some tests) assured us it is not a printer/hardware
    problem.
    Any thoughts, suggestions...
    Thanks

    Does your document contains a mix of RGB and CMYK colors. Are
    all of your
    images, text and vector objects using the same color space?
    Does the printer use RGB or CMYK input? What does the printer
    documentation
    recommend?
    What are your FH color management settings?
    When in the Print dialog, does the printer driver offer any
    color
    adjustments? If so, have you used any of them?

  • Epson R1900 Print Problem - Image shift/Cropping

    When Printing 13x19 files in Photoshop, the image always prints centered in an 8.5 x 11 area at the lower right corner of the page as it comes out of the printer. The image is cropped into this letter sized area at its correct size and is not scaled. My best guess is that the printer is thinning the paper size is set to LETTER, not Super B. I have checked all the settings multiple times but see no place where the paper is not set correctly or that the printer is not set to Epson R1900 (i.e. it is not set to "Any Printer"). I have had this printer for several years (and have been using Macs & Epson printers professionally for 20 years), and it has worked properly in the past with this sized image. I have not needed to print this size image for a while so not sure what might have changed in the mean time.
    This ONLY happens in Photoshop (CC and CS5 tested). It will print correct from InDesign and Illustrator, but the color is shifting too much. I have always gotten my best color when printing directly from Photoshop and this particular project requires accurate color.
    Happens on 2 different computers (newer iMac and older MacBook Pro) and on different photoshop files. Drivers are currently up to date according to Apple's Software update.
    Any thoughts or help would be greatly appreciated.

    This dialog box is definitely shown in the User Guide of the Epson printer????

  • Color shift printing problem from LR solved!!

    Check this discussion for workaround to the color shift printing problem in LR. It's for the 3800, but I assume it also applies to other Epson printers, and quite possibly to other printer vendors.

    Yes it applies to Canon as well.

  • Duplex Printing Problem - Word 2007, Vista and HP Officejet Pro L7780

    I'm having trouble with duplex printing on my new HP Officejet Pro L7780, from Word 2007, running on a brand new Vista system.  I've also had this same problem (repeatable) with two other computers, running XP Professional/Word 2003, XP Home/Word 2003.  All of the service packs have been installed for the operating system, word, and printer. 
    If you print a landscape document, using the auto duplex setting for the HP printer, the margins will print out offset by .25 inches, on the left and rigt margins.  So if your margin is 1 inches on right and left, the margins will print to .75 on one side and 1.25 on the other.  This would be annoying, except that I'm trying to print brochures and books, which requires that the pages print out exactly as set up... "close enough" isn't working for me
    The way I have replicated this problem is as follows:  set up a document in landscape format, using the default margins.  Insert an image on page one, size it so it takes the full margin area.  On the second page, fill it up with text.  Print the document, selecting the printer properties and setting Print on Both Sides=Automatic.   The easiest way see the problem is by holding the document up to the light.  The front and back margins should match and they don't.
    Any help you can provide would be very much appreciated.
    Diana

    Diana,
    This problem is perhaps much larger than you might have imagined.  We have tried to work with Hewlett Packard for over two years on the duplex printing problems.  In the process, we have expended over 100 hours of effort in troubleshooting the problem which has included updating software, reinstalling software, developing test documents, escalating issues, submitting technical findings, and in purchasing replacements.  Unfortunately, our efforts to interact with Hewlett Packard excalated support have resulted in an aire of apathy, disinterest, incompetence, frustration, redundancy, occasional discourtesy, and an outright lack of professional decorum - something inconceivable of a large, reputable company.
    We have identified several problems with duplex printing.  The duplex printing problems include irregular margin increases (.25 to .50 inch), margin shifts, cut-off text, compressed text, and compressed graphics.  Please note that most of these problems are only evident when printing documents from computer applications to the printer.  If the user simply uses the front printer panel to copy in duplex mode, these problems are not always evident.  This suggests that the printer mechanics are capable of properly duplexing and that the problem lies in the drivers.
    The problem is evident on the HP OfficeJet Pro L7780, Photosmart L7180, Photosmart C6150, Photosmart 3310, and likely on many, many other HP models.  The problem is evident on many computers (HP, IBM, Toshiba, and Dell), is evident in multiple applicatons (Word, Wordperfect, Excel, Peachtree, Notepad, and many more), and is evident on multiple operating systems (Windows XP Home, Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Media Center Edition, and Microsoft Vista).
    We consider ourselves to be extremely polite, patient individuals, but have nearly been driven to outrage by the indignant disregard offered us by HP's escalation support department; a department which should represent the cream-of-the-crop in both service and technical expertise.  Given the ease with which the problem can be duplicated, we expected an extremely quick resolution by HP who, to our knowledge, has never even made the effort to duplicate the problem in-house on our behalf.
    Ironically, HP highly advertises their J.D. Powers rated technical support, yet it appears that they actually have extremely poor published consumer rankings in some of today's mainstream computer magazines.  HP technical support makes no apologies for the fact the user cannot use a major feature of their printers, offers no indication that the problem is even being addressed, and off-loads the responsibility by suggesting that we contact Microsoft (who is to blame for this issue).
    Thank you, Diane, for your message.  We had a hard time imagining that we were the only one experiencing this problem, especially when HP promotes such a representation.  Which also begs the question why HP plays like the problem does not even exist?  I also fail to understand why HP technical support shows so little interest in a problem that is easily duplicated and adversely affects a major feature of the printer which is commonly used by individuals purchasing equipment for its duplex capabilities.
    This is sad because we have been a loyal customer of HP for over twenty-five years.  There was a time when we would have happily endorsed HP's steller products and steller support (provided you could get a problem escalated).  Now, however, they all-too-often appear to offer equipment that fails to support advertised features which is backed up by sub-standard support and extremely expensive ink.  This is an especially sad commentary for users who are buying HP's upper-end printers and computers.
    We desire to know if there are others out there experiencing similar problems?  If you have experienced these problems or would like samples of the problems we have duplicated, please respond.  I think the more information we gather, the better our chance of a successful resolution to a serious problem.
    Thanks Everyone!

  • Printing Problems - HP LaserJet 2100 with USB/Parallel adapter - Print jobs 'hang'

    Hoping to get some assistance with a persistent and frustrating printing problem.
    I've got an older HP LaserJet 2100 that was working great until recently.  It doesn't have a USB port on it, so I have it connected to my iMac (21" 3.1 gHz, i7) via a USB/Parallel cable.  Up until now I have been forced to us Gutenprint (wss running 5.0.2) as the Apple provided drivers cause the printer to spit out pages upon pages of gibberish.
    Recently, when printing the document (or PDF, or whatever) gets sent to the queue, but doesn't seem to fully make it to the printer.  For lack of a better term, it 'hangs' at some percent (47%, 82% etc.) in the queue window and doesn't print.
    A few further details that are causing me extreme levels of frustration:
    I have reset the SMB and this results in being able to print one page normally, then the system returns to the problem above
    OSX can see the printer and I have deleted/added it many times
    Printing system has been reset multiple times
    On a restart, the first page that was trying to print does print out.  This sometimes happens when the log-in page appears, sometimes when I log back in to my user account.
    The printer is connected directly to my iMac and not through a USB hub.
    I have another printer (a new HP Officejet 6600) that works without a problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    This problem is most likely a deficiency in the parallel-adapter end of that cable. I'd look for another USB-parallel cable.
    There used to be a special driver that worked around the limitation of the parallel adapter "data shifter" - but it doesn't appear to be available anymore:

  • [FIX] Darker prints and color shifts when printing from Lightroom 2

    Hi,
    The problem :
    When printing RAW or TIFF files from LR2, you get a printer output that
    is much darker than it should be and that presents various color shifts.
    I'm using an Epson Stylus Pro 3800 with the latest Windows driver
    (6.50 - which is rather old by the way). The workaround described below
    works for me under Windows XP SP3. It should also probably work with
    other systems/printers/drivers. Use at your own (minor) risk.
    The "official" procedure for printing from LR is as follows:
    1. Do not let the printer manage colors and select "Other..." from the
    profile dropdown list and select the ICC/ICM paper/printer profile that
    you want to use.
    2. Click on Print... in LR which opens the Print Settings dialog.
    3. Select the options you need and the paper you're using.
    4. **Disable the color management from the driver's side** (in Epson's
    drivers, "Mode | Custom | No Color Adjustments").
    5. Print
    Unfortunately, **this doesn't work** for many of us and this produces a
    print that is dark and has color shifts as mentioned above. Note that
    the same image prints correctly from QImage or Photoshop CS3 (that is,
    the printer output corresponds to what you see on your calibrated
    display).
    Apparently, although color management has been (allegedly) disabled in
    the driver, there's something wrong between LR and the driver which
    makes that *both* LR and the driver are still trying to manage colors.
    In other words, the "No Color Adjustements" option of the driver doesn't
    seem to work with LR.
    The workaround (found after hours of hair pulling and paper and
    expensive ink wasting):
    In step #4,
    1. Instead of selecting "No Color Adjustments", set Mode to "Custom |
    ICM
    2. Click Advanced...
    3. Check "Show all profiles".
    4. Select Driver ICM (Advanced)"
    5. Set **both** the "Input profile" and the "Printer profile" fields to
    the very same profile that you specified in LR.
    That is, if you specified Pro38 PGPP (Premium Glossy Photo Paper) in LR,
    then also select Pro38 PGPP in both "Input Profile" and "Printer
    Profile". This has actually the same effect has disabling color
    management in the driver (what "No Color Adjustements" should normally
    take care of).
    That's it. When printing, you'll get exactly the same color results as
    when printing from QImage or Photoshop. No more dark prints. No more
    color shifts.
    One might think that the bug is in the Epson driver but in that case,
    QImage would have the very same problem. So I tend to think that the bug
    is on the Lightroom side.
    Note: Although Photoshop CS3 produces a correct printer output, it
    demonstrates the same problem as LR when using the "Match Print Color"
    option for soft proofing. But in that case, only the preview colors are
    wrong. The printer output is ok. Which also tends to demonstrate that
    Adobe has the problem, not Epson. Or maybe both... :-) .
    Don't ask me why some users have the problem and other don't.
    Hope this helps.

    A sincere thank you for your reply, Michael. Sorry about the "it just doesn't make sense" shortcut. I have been trying to solve this issue since LR 1.1, spending dozens of hours on different trials and digesting everything written on this forum and the B9180 forum about color management and double profiling. My shortcut was a summation of my experience (and my frustration) but doesn't really advance the conversation. Here are some data that should be more useful in diagnosing the problem.
    I am running Windows XP SP2. I calibrate my monitor monthly with the Spyder. The reason I suspect this may be an issue of double profiling is because the results (moderately strong magenta overlay plus an increase in contrast) match what more knowledgeable people than I on this forum describe when double profiling occurs. Perhaps I shouldn't presume it is double profiling, and follow Patrick Philippot's lead in naming the problem "color shifts." Patrick does refer in post #2 of this thread, however, to obvious double profiling.
    I certainly do have a successful and consistent print method. With PS CS3, and either my Epson 1280 or my HP B9180, the output is almost always dead on. Here is how I do it. In PS from the print dialog box, under color handling I always choose "Photoshop manages colors." Then under printer profile I select the profile designated by the manufacturer for a particular paper/printer combination. Then in the printer driver I disable printer control of color. With the Epson I check the box "Off (No Color Adjustment)." With the B9180 I choose the option "Application Managed Colors." While I sometimes may tweak the final output, these procedures have served me well with PS for several years.
    Contrasted with my positive PS experience, my experience with LR printing has been inconsistent. I regret having to be so imprecise but truly sometimes LR produces accurate results that match the calibrated monitor, but most of the time it does not. I use standard procedures with LR that parallel the PS ones described above. In LR's printing panel, under color management, I specify the correct profile, just as I did for PS. Then in the printer driver I use the same procedures I use with PS. Most of the time the prints have the magenta overlay and too much contrast.
    BTW, the inconsistent LR printing only takes place with my HP B9180. I have never had any problem with off-color LR prints with my Epson 1280. Again, I emphasize that I have standard procedures that always work with PS (no matter which printer) and LR (but only with the Epson).
    Unfortunately the LR printing problems are intermittent. Some of the time (perhaps 20%) LR produces fine prints in the B9180, indistinguishable from PS prints. When LR is printing well, it will continue to print fine until "something happens" and the output shows the color shift. This means I do not get a random sequence of good-bad-good-bad prints, but rather good-good-x factor-bad-bad-bad. Ths problem is that I do not know what this "x factor" is. Once, when LR was giving me accurate output, I simply changed the default printer (Control Panel-Printers and Faxes) from the B9180 to my Samsung 1430 laser; immediately afterwards the LR output colors shifted. Did LR react to this change in default printers? Another time I had good LR printing success with version 1.2 but ran into the problems described above when I upgraded to version 1.3.
    Sorry for the long post. I am hoping that someone will see something that I am missing and provide a hint. I think, though, that Patrick is correct when he states, "I tend to think that the problem is with LR. After all, similar issues (obvious double profiling) are observed only in LR but with various printers."

  • Lightroom 2.1 upgrade printing problem

    I was getting great printing with LR 1 and my Epson R200 printer on Windows XP. My computer died and the new one is on Vista. I upgraded to LR 2.1 while I was at it. now my prints are way off color. I love the new color management features of LR, but there doesn't appear to be a Vista profile for the R200. I tried the one for the R300 and the prints have a decidedly yellow cast, which I can't seem to remove in LR. With the printer managing the color, the prints come out way too dark and weird colored. I need to finish some print orders, any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    LR 2.1 Final still has the problem of 'sunburned faces' and other somewhat less noticable color shifts on my system.
    Win Vista Ultimate x64
    Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 8GB RAM
    B9180 Printer
    Advanced Photo Glossy profile
    Application manages color
    The same images using the same printer settings on the same system print just fine using Photoshop CS3 and Photoshop CS4 so the problem is definitely in something specific to LR.
    And I have reported this to Adobe via http://www.adobe.com/go/wish and I suggest that anyone having printing problems with LR2.1 file a bug report.

  • Contact Sheet Printing Problems

    I have been trying to print contact sheets starting with version 1.1 and I'm still not able to print them in 2.1.
    Ligthroom will generate the file but the printers (I tried 3 printers) are reporting error messages (Status Error - Printing). The file just stay in the queue for ever or I delete it. First I thought it had to be a printer problem so I tried to print the contact sheets in Draft Mode. That worked and everything was fine except the quality of the pictures on the contact sheet was so bad - unusable.
    Now I have tried different relosutions from 150 to 250 and nothing works. Well, not quite nothing. I can print out one contact sheet with up to 20 pictures, but as soon as I need more than one sheet it fails.
    I'm also running into the same problem with color shifts printing from Lightroom compared to Photoshop. Also, the speed seems to be very slow. I have about 30,000 slides in my library and I'm constantly waiting until LR catches up.

    I was experiencing the same thing (in 4.1RC2). Tried to print a 158-image contact sheet (4 pgs), and it would want to render every image first.
    Here's my solution:
    I went back to the Library module, selected all the photos I wanted to print, and made sure they all had standard previews rendered. Then I was able to go back and print as draft (to printer, pdf, and jpg) with lightning speed.
    Hope that helps,
    Cory
    **UPDATE**
    Today I tried to print another contact sheet, with all previews rendered, and it's being slow again. Apparently my solution doesn't really work 100%. Yeah, it's like Jeckyll and Hyde...

  • HP deskjet 960c printer stair-step printing problem

    Hi there, my printer used to work beautifully. Now when it prints it I get a stair-step effect. ie it starts OK, then the image moves up by a millimeter, then another millimeter etc etc. It's very annoying. It does it no matter what I print, text, images, pdfs...
    Can anyone throw any light on this, and what I might do to correct it? I'm on a G4 quicksilver using os x 10.3.9. Printer driver is up to date as far as I know.
    TA!

    Kathykate,
    We're still reading--
    Ooooh these printers, I could scream!
    I can be very frustrating at times. Especially when you have intermittent problems.
    First, I switched the usb cables around, and that
    didn't make a difference.
    It was a thought. We can pretty much rule out a bad USB cable now.
    Then I installed the
    gutenprint drivers. They printed out my images in a
    not very clear kind of pointalist dots type way, my
    type was no longer clear, and the colours were not as
    good as before and anyway, it still stair-stepped so
    I uninstalled them.
    Interesting that the printing is "pointalist". My old HP 870 also uses the PCL 3 driver from Gutenprint. Text is great. I really don't use that printer for images, however. I have noticed a blue shift in the tones. The fact that the printer is still stair-stepping with these drivers would point to the printer malfunctioning. Especially as I look back over the previous posts and noticed that the stair-stepping seems to have increased in displacement.
    But I noticed something in the
    gutenprint set up where it talked about respooling
    your printer? Basically you had to go into file
    sharing and click printers to file share and this
    reset something.
    I don't recall seeing that. Do you recall what part of the documentation that was in?
    Did 4 prints and no stair-stepping!
    Thought I'd cracked it! Of course the next one
    stair-stepped... Have also tried the usb cable
    directly into the back of the computer (it's normally
    plugged into a belkin hub).
    So that one is completely unsolved, still random
    stair-stepping.
    All indications seem to point to this being a hardware issue with the printer. The only other test I can think of is to try it on another computer. A Windows box would be a good choice. I know the option of trying things on a different computer is not always possible. I just hate to condemn a printer to the trash heap until all possible avenues have been explored.
    My big 1125c is also still a 'mare. When it prints,
    it's great, no stair-stepping. But my mac keeps
    losing the connection to it.
    Again, the frustration of a sometimes problem. I don't have any good advice here. We have seen this type of problem before and there doesn't seem to be any one thing that helps in all cases. I have three printers. My Epson SC 800 which is connected via a parallel to USB adapter has this problem. I have not found a solution for it. My other 2 printers never skip a beat.
    Haven't yet run Apple Hardward Test disk (think I
    have it somewhere) although tried the Printer Setup
    Repair mentioned and that hasn't seemed to help.
    I would still recommend that you give this a go. There still could be a problematic USB port on your computer that is causing some of the problem.
    PS Have today posted another question about something
    in terminal saying 1 thing is stuck, see below,
    that's nothing to do with this is it?

  • PSC 1210 draft printing problem - horizontal split

    Have had the 1210 some yrs now.
     Op System is Windows7.
    About a yr or so ago a problem cropped up every time printing in draft mode. Before that Windows7 and the 1210 were being used with a new computer for several months with no problems. 
    The printing program in Windows offers printing options of "fast draft","normal", and "maximum".
     In fast draft several lines on a print-out page are split horizontally across the entire line. I.e., the top half of the characters shifted left relative to the lower half. There does not seem to be any consistency wrt the number of OK lines between the split lines from document to document.
    In normal and maximum mode the printing is fine.
    Anyone have a solution or suggestion for this problem? Thank you for reading this.

    I couldn't help but notice this fast draft skewed printing seems to be narrowed down to Windows 7 drivers.   I am going to redirect this thread over to the most recent one and anyone who is still having this problem can go to the thread titled: Fast Draft Printing Problems.  I hope I can help although this seems like it is quite a few years old. Bear with me while I research this and if you are still interested in assistance you can select the Kudos star and I can track how many are still having this problem. 
    Don't forgot to say thanks by giving "Kudos" if I helped solve your problem.
    When a solution is found please mark the post that solves your issue.

  • Airport Extreme Printing Problem with HP Deskjet.

    Hello ... I wonder if any helpful folks can assist me with my printing problem? I am using Tiger on a new Intel imac with a HP Deskjet 960C. This printer is listed as having the latest drivers included within Tiger and works perfectly when connected via USB so my problem I guess is not with the software....I have disconnected everything and plugged everything back together again. I also deleted the printer from the printer list within the Printer Setup Utility application.... The imac recognisies the printer and upon pressing the print button everything feels as though its just going to work. The blue barber shop scroll appears but the printer fails to kick into gear and I get the big red exclamation mark appearing in the status box .... I would really love to try and sort this annoying error ... Any ideas? Thanks. Book G4   Mac OS X (10.4.4)  

    Hello jds17. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    Unfortunately, not all USB printers are compatible with AirPort base stations.
    Take a look at one of these iFelix Unofficial AirPort Printer Compatibility links, depending on which AirPort base station you have:
    o 802.11g AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) or AirPort Express Base Station (AX)
    o 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn)
    If your printer isn't listed, it doesn't necessarily mean it won't work, but simply that it has not been verified. iFelix also provides the following workaround for printers not on the list that would certainly be worth a try.
    Also, you may find the following Apple article helpful.

    If you are having serious problems, it makes sense to "Reset the Printing System" (which also removes all printer set-ups) and add back each printer. It only takes a few minutes.

  • Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

    After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
    Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
    Problem:
    - New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions. 
    - When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi. 
    - The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install). 
    Solution:
    1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
    Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
    Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software  for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
    The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
    1 Printer Driver
    (Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
    2 Scanner Driver
    (Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
    3 Network Tool
    (Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
    Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
    4 Solution Menu
    (Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
    5 MP Navigator EX
    (Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
    6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
    (Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
    Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
    http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
    Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
    1. Choose a product category
    Multifunctional Printers
    2. Choose a product series
      Pixma
    3. Choose a product model
      Pixma MX868
    4. Choose type of document
    Downloads or FAQ
    If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
    2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
    Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB.  Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’).  This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
    3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
    After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
    Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
    DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list).  The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
    You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
    If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List.  It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
    If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again
