Printing from 10.5 on canon ix4000

I cannot get as good, ie fully saturated and solid, prints from new MacBook pro as from old PowerBook running 10.4.11 - exactly same printer & latest (4.83) driver
Printer - Canon pixma ix4000 photo software Nikon NX2
The only difference in the dialogue boxes is that the 10.5 printer sequence has dropdown 'color matching'>colorSync or 'vendor matching'(what is that???) instead of colorSync followed by standard & quartz filter. Choosing ColorSync in 'colour matching' cuts out Color Options>driver matching, ie no further colour management.
Not that the various slight differences in the 10.5 options make as much difference in the print as between printing from PowerBook or MacBook.
Anyone any ideas please?
PS I know I can print image files on the MacBook from the PowerBook via network, but was hoping to save PowerBook for when I need a key Classic application (Microstation, never supplied for OSX, just robbed Apple of good ideas then dumped)

Vendor Matching will use the colour profile installed by the iX4000 driver. If you open the ColorSync application, then select Profiles then expand Other, you will the Canon BJ printer profiles. You will also see additional profiles with your printer model followed by an alphanumeric code, such as PR1. These are related to the different paper stocks you can select via the 'Quality & Media > Media Type' menu.
The letters in the code are as follows;
MP = Matte Photo Paper
PR = Photo Paper Pro
SP = Photo Paper Plus Glossy
You will see each has a different gamut, with the SP having the largest. I recommend leaving the Color Management at vendor and then use the media menu to select the appropriate paper stock you are printing on.

How to print from GIMP to a Canon i860

Hello
I have searched the forums for this answer with no luck.... so either I am blind, or.... I don't know. This seems like this should be so easy to do.
I am trying to print from GIMP 2.2.10. I am using Mac OS-X 10.4.6. The printer is a Canon i860 inkjet, connected via USB to an iBook G4. I can print from any of the other applications, including from OpenOffice 2.0. I have downloaded and intalled the Canon IJ driver 415.
I can not find a good driver to use when I print from GIMP.
I can get it to print using Postscript 2 by removing -oraw and -l from the Command line in the printer setup (I set it to "lp -s -di860")
When I print from GIMP using the Postscript 2 setting, I can not change the Media Type to indicate Matte paper, or Glossy, etc. Nor can I change the resolution, etc. It does however print.
I have tried some of the other Canon Drivers listed in the GIMP print setup dialogue, but nothing seems to work - that is nothing even gets sent to the printer (I have the spooler window open so I can monitor). None of them are for the i860 specifically.
Any suggestions? Even just a place to start looking?
Thanks in Advance
Seth

Can't print from windows to shared Canon MX340

I have a new Canon MX340 on my iMac with Snow Leopard. I'm able to print from this iMac and via sharing, all of the other Macs at home. What I can't do is print from my son's Windows XP netbook. Previously, I was sharing an old HP office jet with no problem, with the new Canon one of two things happens. I used Bonjour to install the printer on the XP side.
- with Generic Postscript selected as the driver I get the following erros in the cups error_log file
E [29/Aug/2010:17:08:37 -0600] [Job 920] No %%Pages: comment in header!
E [29/Aug/2010:17:08:37 -0600] [Job 920] Unable to open raster stream - : No such file or directory

E [29/Aug/2010:17:08:37 -0600] [Job 920] Job stopped due to filter errors; please consult the error_log file for details.
- using the MX340 driver, I simply get a single blank page
I am able to print via a network connection (the MX340 has built in WiFi), but I'd like to know how to do with via the old method.
Any ideas?
THANKS!

The XP Netbook should use the Generic PS driver. I've never found the Canon driver on Windows to work correctly when printing to the Mac shared printer via Bonjour for Windows.
It is unusual you are getting this error. The Mac should be converting the incoming spool file to suit the MX340. Since the Generic PS is not working then you could try the Apple Color LaserWriter 12/600 when using the Bonjour Wizard. I've used this on XP to print to my MP980 shared off 10.6.4 and it worked fine for me.
Personally I would suggest you are better off with using the MX340 wireless. This will remove the reliance on the iMac being available just so that others can print.

Printing from iPad 2 to Canon MG6120 Pixma Printer

Hi There Apple Community,
I'm trying to help out my Mother-In-Law (who I like) and I'm trying to make it as easy as possible for her to print from her iPad 2 to her Wi-Fi-enabled printer. It's like this:
I'm trying to print from an iPad 2 to a Canon MG6120 Pixma Printer. Now, I know that the printer is not AirPrint compatible at this time and I've downloaded EuroSmartz Print n Share (v4.5.2), but I'm just not satisfied. It works to a degree, but you have to print from within the app for it to work and the quality is much lower than if she were to simply use the desktop PC (a newish HP running Windows 7 Home Premium). The app is also hinky when trying to use its native browser to log into secure sites, which is the primarly use that she is going to use it for -- buying tickets and other stuff and wanting to print up hard copies.
So, I am asking a few different questions:
1. Does anyone know of any hacks to the aforementioned Canon printer to make it work with the iPad?
2. Does anyone know of another app that works with PCs that allows for easier printing?
3. Does anyone know of any hacks to the iPad 2 that allows it to print to non-AirPrint-enabled printers?
Many, many thanks to any and all who answer!

Failed to issue print from win7 laptop to Canon MP230 which is connected to mac mini os x 10.8.3

HI
I have recently bought a Canon MP230 printer and connected to my Mac Mini 10.8.3 usb port.
To setup the printer I downloaded the latest driver from canon web site and install all of them
When I issue print from my mac mini it works fine.
Next step was to issue print from Windows 7 laptop .
To do that I intalled Bonjoure in my Windows 7 latpot and set the printer connected to MAc Mini as default printer.
Upto this point every thing works fine.
When I tried to issue print from my Windows 7 laptop the printer gets activated the power button start blinking . But it just pass a page from
input tray to out tary without printing a single line. I have looked into cups server page at my mac mini. It shows that the job fired from windows
laptop was done.
I treid a lot debug it myself . But no luck yet.
Please help me. I am very upset.
Thanks
Anirban

I just updated to 10.8.3 today, and my computer and Apple TV won't even recognize each other now. I have absolutely no advice, but wanted to throw this in so you (and Apple) know you're not the only one.

Problems printing from Photoshop 4 to Canon Pro9000MarkII

Hi All,
This has only strting happening in the last two days - before that I have had no problems with this function. I am trying to print from Photoshop 4 on a PC to my Canon Pro9000MarkII.
When I print a document and tick the Scale to Fit Media box then everything is fine and it prints no problem.
When I try to print with this box unticked so that I can print at 100% scale I press OK and nothing happens.
We have tried to download the latest printer driver and this has not helped. I have played around with the Printer Preferences and this too has not helped. I have restarted Photoshop and the PC quite a few times - nothing!!
I have obviously missed some sort of setting but I don't know what - help!!!!

I am back and still having trouble with Lightroom. Someone suggested I downgrade to LR 4.1 (from 4.4) but that didn't help. To reiterate: I have a MacBook Pro, using 10.9.5. I got a new Epson Stylus Photo R2000 printer and LR is having trouble communicating with the printer. When I try to print a letter size (or other size) picture, a 5x7 partial tile of the picture prints off center bleeding to the top. The only way I can print a whole picture is the size it 5x7; then it prints the whole picture but it is still off center, not as it appears in LR print view. I have talked with Epson who said I had Mac conflicts; I spoke with Mac who got rid of the conflicts so it can print fine from Apple programs like Pages, or the internet. It is only LR that won't print right. Obviously I got a photo printer to print photos so I would like help resolving this. It has been very frustrating that although I could talk with both Apple and Epson support, when I tried to contact Adobe both by phone and Live chat I was told that LR is not supported except on this forum. So please, help. Thanks.

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

When I go to print from Lightroom, the colors on my screen look exactly as I want them. Then I have the color management set to Canon Pro-100 with the type of paper I am using (pro-luster), but when I get the printer setup on my screen, I get different colors (ugly colors). I then print the picture, and I get the same colors that were on my screen for the printer setup (the ugly colors).
how do I set it up that colors will be managed by Lightroom? which option do I select when under the Profile section?
Thanks

I have the same printer, and get excellent results from it. You have two choices; you can either allow Lightroom to manage the color, or you can let the printer manage the color. You don't want both the printer and Lightroom managing the color. If that happens you get bad colors.
To allow Lightroom to manage the color you need to go into the page setup, which opens your printer driver and you need to turn off color management. You also need to set the paper size and paper type based on the profile you are using. There are usually instructions packaged with paper indicating what settings you should choose. After you have set everything appropriately in the printer driver you need to select the appropriate paper profile from the list available to you in Lightroom.
To allow the printer to manage the color, you choose that option in Lightroom. Then in the page setup you need to choose the paper type as well as the exact paper profile that you will be using.

Printing from windows 2k server, Canon MP600

Hi, I have a mostly pc home based network, and my wife would like to be able to print from her mac to the networked printer. I can get the printer to show up in "Windows Printing" selection box, and comes up as CanonMP6 with generic postscript printer labeling. If I try to print it appears to send it to the server, i can see the print queue in the server receive something, but never prints. I know it works from windows based clients, so I guess I am wondering if there is a driver issue? I've installed the drivers to the mac, the ones that came with the printer. Any help would be appreciated. Getting tired of swapping the usb cable every time my wife wants to print.
Thanks

Definitely a driver issue. Canon-provided driver doesn't do network.
Two choices - buy third party driver:

or, set up PC to be postscript translator/server:

Cannot print from MS Office using Canon MP600

I recently upgraded from a Powerbook to an iMac. The normal Apple migration tool worked wonders and everything was working fine.
Last week I was no longer able to print from MS Office. I try out demo's etc. so I'm wondering if something got broken. I've uninstalled as much as I can think of but still no luck. I tried uninstalling Office and the print drivers and then reinstalling everything over again - that didn't work.
Word gives the following error message:
Word cannot print due to a problem with the current printer. Make sure you have a printer selected in Print Center. You may need to print again or adjust your printer settings.
When I look in the console I see the following errors:

Anyone have any idea what I've messed up? Any thoughts on how to fix this would be appreciated.

Looks like I solved this. Unfortunately I don't know why it started doing this.
I tried a number of things - uninstalling Office, reinstalling Office, uninstalling the print drivers, reinstalling the print drivers, removing all caches, etc., etc.
After doing some sniffing around on some other questions it seems like this is a problem with a number applications. The repeated solution mentioned reinstalling Mac OSX but to maintain and archive the user accounts on the computer. I did this based on the following link:
http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/TigerInstall_SetupGuide.pdf
After doing that I reinstalled the print drivers, completed the install of Office 2004 and everything worked. Doing the reinstall removed all my Haxies. I'm starting to think it had to do with that. I'll likely apply them one at a time and see which one breaks it.

Is there an app or any other way to print from iPad, iPhone to canon pima mx882?

How can i print on my pixma mx882 from my iPad or iPhone?

To print directly you have to use an AirPrint enabled printer, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4356 or send the material to a computer and print from the computer.

Can't find my printer from my MacBookPro. Canon MX870 connected via ethernet to my Airport Base station

I have a MacBookPro3,1. My Canon MX870 is connected to my Airport base station via ethernet. It was working fine until two days ago. I restarted my computer, the printer and the airport and router. Reinstalled the driver for the printer and even reset the airport. Best I can tell it's something with my MacBook. My girlfriend was over yestrday and she has a newer MacBookPro and I can find my printer fine on her MacBookPro but I can't find it at all on mine. I'm at a complete loss. Any thoughts or insight would be greatly appreciated.

I wonder if one of the “printing” plists has become corrupted. Find your preferences file in the library under your user name. Scroll down to the series of printer plists starting with “com.apple.print“. There are a series of them, even one specifically for the mx 870. You can delete a plist with relative impunity as they are rebuilt when you restart your MBP. I would delete 1st the one that has 870 in the name, put it in the trash, but don’t empty the trash, and restart. If that doesn’t solve the problem you can delete others- like the “print add“ plist or print center plist. Restart after each deletion and see if that solves the problem. You can always drag the deleted plists out of the trash and put them back where they came from as long as you don’t empty the trash.
Good Luck!
