Photoshop CS - Canon Pro9000 ICC issue

I'm using Photoshop CS with Apple OS 10.6.2 on a 24' iMac. I am trying to print to a Canon pro9000 Mark II.
I have the latest Canon driver, 10.30.3.0, and the latest ICC profile set for Canon from the Apple driver site. As I begin the print dialogue everything seems fine. Photoshop is controlling color management, and I select the Canon paper/quality ICC profile. After I click print, it sends the print job and I get the following error: "Could not print "test.jpg" because the ICC profile is no longer installed."
The Photoshop issue has been consistent. I used the standard drivers and profiles that came on the Canon disk; then I ran Software Update for the driver; then I downloaded the complete 10.30.3.0 ICC set from Apple. Each time I get this same error message. It occurs immediately AFTER Photoshop says the file is sent to the printer.
It doesn't appear to be the printer alone, since I can successfully print from Photoshop Elements, Apple Preview, and using the Canon "Easy Print Pro" plugins within Photoshop. I can even print through Photoshop Print Preview, but I can't control color there.
Any ideas around what happens to the ICC files in the standard Photoshop CS print dialogue?
Thanks.

I gave that Canon rep the exact same rebuttal - also quoted from information that you had talked about last weekend and in lock step he simply embraced the Canon company line over and over. I asked if they had printed with Photoshop, to see where their code is generating an error and the illogic notion that a missing profile would be the responsibility of Adobe. He wouldn't even entertain the concept; walked me through a plug and play feature of my Pixma printer to show that it is printing just fine - never mind that my picture came out looking like a washed out, colorless of image that had none of the characteristics of the picture in my monitor generated in Elements 9.
I asked him 'didn't printer drivers come from the manufacturers themselves?' "Nope, they all come from Adobe."
So just complete and total BS. Nowhere to turn now. Without those ICC printer profiles, color management is just an esoteric concept that exists in the minds of Canon CSA reps.
Canons' 1 million pixel capability might as well be 1 trillion for all the good it does.
Judging from the threads out there, I'd bet that Canon has boatloads of other complaints re this profile issue.

Washed out colors with Canon Pro9000 using ICC profiles

I recently bought a brand new Canon Pro9000 printer and have a problem getting acceptable results when using the supplied ICC profiles.
I believe I am doing everything by the book. First I select the correct ICC profile for the printer and the paper I am using in the Aperture print dialog, then I go into Print Setting and set the paper type in the Quality and Media section, as well as matching the print quality to the ICC profile.
The Canon driver I use (10.1.0.0) does not provide the option of explicitly turning off color management in the printer. If a choose a profile from the Aperture printing dialog and then go into "Printer Setting > Color Options" the Color Mode drop down menu is grayed out. After searching trough various discussion forums I can see that some people claim that color management is automatically turned off when selecting a profile, but I have not been able to get a confirmation on this.
The resulting print is quite disappointing, it is very bright and with washed out colors. I have tried quite a few different papers, including semi gloss and photo rag - all original Canon papers (of course using the matching profiles).
Using the default "System Managed" option on the Color Sync drop down menu produces great looking prints that very closely matches what I see on my display. My only take on them is that they are very slightly over saturated.
When I enable on screen proofing with the matching profile, I can see that the picture gets slightly brighter, but way less that what I get on the prints.
I have calibrated my display according to the suggestions from Bagelturf (http://www.bagelturf.com/files/694c5a88c7241f8f04c7cff33cde8e3e-560.php), which is in line with Apple´s recommendations in the Aperture documentation.
I have read trough discussion on similar problems, both here ("more color nasties" and "Printing problem since upgrading to Aperture 2") and at dpreview, but I have not been able to figure out this problem yet.
System configuration:
- MacBook Pro 2.4GHz
- Leopard 10.5.2
- Aperture 2.1
- Panasonic DMC-L1 camera (shooting RAW)
- Canon Pro9000
- Canon driver 10.1.0.0 (CUPS)
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
With my iP8500 I leave it on, so it appears to be specifically the behavior of the Pro9000. I did a little more testing last night as I recently re-calibrated my system, and have another method you can try. Instead of turning off "Black Point Compensation" which can leave photos with lots of shadow detail a bit too dark, open up the "Printer Settings" window and go to the color management options. The only thing you can change here is the brightness setting. Change it from Normal to Dark, leaving BPC turned on. I think you'll be pleased with the results. Good luck!

Borderless printing problems - Aperture 2.1/Canon Pro9000 II

Problem: photos don't print borderless. I have selected the appropriate paper from the "paper size" dialog (in my case, "4x6 borderless"). Things used to behave nicely but something has changed after Snow Leopard. The "calibrate" settings do not solve the problem. The border appears only on two edges of the print and the calibrate settings can't move it back. Other software (Preview, Photoshop, etc.) print borderless without issue. Anyone else out there having a similar issue?
Aperture 2.1.4
OS 10.6.1
Canon Pro9000 II, CUPS driver 10.26.0.0
Thanks in advance for any ideas!

I also have struggled with the borderless printing problem. Tried calibration has some unpredictable results. Tried preview, pretty much the same problem. Spent much time, ink and paper to come up with a solution I can live with. I accidentally printed a borderless 4x6 that actually had a 1/8 inch white border all the way around, not the borderless print i had intended but one that i can live with until there is a SL fix or a Aperture fix... I am just waiting. This is just one of many print problems since installing SL.

Problems printing with PSE12 and Canon Pro9000 MII

There seems to be a problem with PSE 12 and the print function. Using my Canon Pro9000-Mark II the size is off. Set to 8 x 10 photo paper in either landscape or portrait, PSE will print it to what looks like a 16 by 20 print, even though all setting are for an 8 x 10. Another problem is that even though the 9000 is set as my default printer, PSE always returns to my Epson 1400.
To further complicate this matter, if I use the Automation tool and select Canon Print Studio Pro, the 9000 prints perfectly with PSE12.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?.

Usually posted problems with the Pro9000 are poor colour matching ones, I don't recall a sizing problem before.
Have you checked all the places where size may be set, both in the PSE Print Dialogs (check paper size and print size, and under more options 'custom print size) and in the standard printer driver ?
Out of interest why would you NOT want to use Canon Print Studio Pro plug-in ? I thought this was Canon's recommended printing work flow.
Cheers,
Neale

Canon Pro9000 no longer prints tabloid on Snow Leopard

Just got new 2 new iMacs w/ Snow Leopard. My partner installed software and latest drives for Canon Pro9000 on his computer. Now, when I'm on my computer and in InDesign CS5 and I try to print a tabloid size paper. However, the Indesign file prints the wrong orientation (landscape instead of portrait).
I've tried changing the Page Setup and also within the InDesign print dialog. No matter what, the file prints incorrectly.
Also, my partner tries to print a #10 envelope on my computer (Canon iP4500), the orientation is also incorrect on that.
Any thoughts on this? Printing 8.5 x 11 on either computer is not a problem. It's just when the orientation must be changed that we run into trouble.

You mention that the Pro9000 is connected to the other iMac and that when you print from ID CS5 you get the orientation issue. If you print from ID CS5 on that iMac, or if you connect the Pro9000 directly to your iMac, does the symptom still exist?
Yes, it also appears that it has to do with InDesign. I've been able to print out PDFs to my partner's printer on tabloid paper w/o a problem. My partner can print out the correct orientation from his computer to his printer.
Also, in reverse, it sounds like when the other iMac attempts to print to the iP4500 connected to your iMac the orientation issue exists. But if you print the #10 ENV, is the orientation okay?
Yes, if I print a #10 env to my printer from my computer, it is okay.
Just trying to determine if the symptom is only present when printing to the shared printer - not the direct printer.
Yes, it looks as if when the printer is shared and using InDesign CS5.

Can't install Canon pro9000 mkII help?

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to install a Canon pro9000 mkII printer on my macbook running Mountain Lion. The printer installation disc didn't come with the drivers/software for Mountain Lion so I downloaded them from the Canon website and they installed fine.
I then went to add the printer via the normal route: System Preferences>Printer&Scan>Add. The printer shows up in the list, I select it and it tells me:
'The selected printer software is available from Apple. Click Add to download it and add this printer.'
So I do this and it connects to Apple but then I get message saying that the software is not available from the update network.
As mentioned, I have already downloaded and installed the correct drivers! Is there no way to bypass it trying to get them from Apple? I don't know where in the system to tell it to look.
Help!
Thanks for your time!

.... and for me. I had similar issues with two other Canon printers (Pro9000 and MF8050Cn). It is worth saying that one *must* go the "Add printer and Scanner" window rather than selecting a 'Nearby printer". Then when a printer is selected, a complete list of avaiable drivers appears in the "Use" list.
The Mac in fact auto-installed the Mf8050Cn multifunction without any say from me! The driver it installed though was the fax driver, but no mention that it was. Still no scanner support for the Mf8050Cn (8-(#

Canon Pro9000 Mark II prints dark color tones muddy on gloss paper

Boss accidentally bought gloss print paper, but I figured that might work out for our art renderings. However the ink bleeds... strangely, only on dark color tones. Image is below. It's a Canon Pro9000 Mark II. It seems to be dark tones that bleed only. The light gray is perfect, and even a well-saturated yellow-orange looks decent. It doesn't appear to be the saturation or amount of ink that is the problem, but the darkness of the color. Is it the printer, the paper, or the ink? Is there a solution?

It really doesn't matter if you don't have the proper profile for the paper. Do you? If not you really can't use that paper at all. You might try to see if another profile will work but that is mostly fool's play. The correct profile is mandatory. Most good paper suppliers provide the correct ICC profiles for their paper. Canon, Red River, Moab, Artic, etc.

No, it does not.

Lightroom Printer Template for Canon Pro9000

I have been trying to set up a printer template for my Canon Pro9000 that has as one of the printer settings that color management is turned off. I create a new template and/or I try to update settings on an existing template. No matter what I do, it seems like if the setting reverts to ICM. Also, it seems like it ignores the setting that I check for whether or not I want a print preview.
Are these just settings that can't be saved in a template, or am I doing something wrong?

I have a p9000 too. I am not aware that LR can set up a template with all the printer driver settings you want including turning off color management in the printer.
I always thought that every time you load light room, you have to reset all your printer driver settings in the printer driver (as well as specifying no your paper profiles and rendering intent in LR.
This ain't exactly great. I usually print in qimage which defaults to your previous settings for any given type of paper profile you choose.
But LR isn't there yet.

Indesign won't install past 42% then says it failed. I downloaded photoshop and illustrator with no issues.

Ive tried to download Indesign but it won't go past 42% on the download bar and then it says it failed. no information to why.
I downloaded Photoshop and Illustrator with no issues
on a Mac running 10.0.5

Dededededede I would recommend reviewing your installation log files to determine if the installation or download has failed. If the installation has failed then there will be a specific error within the log which will determine why there was a failure.

CS4 extended. Capture One vs Photoshop . How can I be sure that photoshop use my Display icc Color Munki Color Profile?

CS4 extended, OS10.7.5 . When I process an image in Capture One Pro and then open it in Photoshop CS4 extended and compare to my original image in Capture I can see a big difference . ( Darker in C1 and flat in CS4) I contacted Phase One and they said that the problem was probably due to photoshop who do not recognise my Color Munki Display icc profile . How can I be sure that photoshop use my Display icc Color Munki Profile? Thanks !!!

Hello Station_two,
Thanks for you response.
Yes . that's what I did as I created an icc profile with Color Munki .
My problem is when you look at the left image ( Capture One ) and the same images processed and open in Photoshop ( Right image ) I can see a big contrast difference ...
Now, let's assume that photoshop work automatically with my icc Color Munki in display panel , why the image in Capture One do not look the same ? Is it a question of setup in C1 ? In c1 ICC /Process recipe I have Adobe rgb (1998) selected....
Thanks!
