Printing to greyscale by default with the Canon CLC 4040-H1 v2.0 PS Driver

We recently got our new Canon CLC 4040-H1 up and running with the v2.0 PS Driver.
The problem is, unlike our Canon 3220-C1, we're unable to set it to print to greyscale by default.
In the client driver software for both the 3220-C1 and the 4040-H1 there is a drop down menu for choosing colour, greyscale or "printer's default." The "printer's default" option is also the drop down menu's default setting.
The problem is, as opposed to the 3220-C1, the 4040-H1's Fiery onboard driver software doesn't have an option under PS Setup to choose what you want this default setting to be. So the default is colour.
We've got our technical engineer's looking into it further but I'm not holding my breath. In typical Canon style we have a regression inherent in our "upgrade" and trying to get Canon or EFI to update this driver software will probably be like getting blood out of a stone.
So, does anyone know a work-around for this? Have I overlooked anything?

Hello Christiaan,
We don't use this setting on our iR C5185-H1, as we have a b&w iR for text-only work, but I checked the H1 config page and agree that no setting is available to default the machine to grayscale. The interesting thing is that without the H1, the iR C does have the ability to set b&w as a default, but this setting is not available when the H1 is attached.
The only thing I can suggest is to create a b&w preset and educate your users on using this preset. Note that once a preset is selected, it will stay the default until the preset is changed.

Cannot print A3 from InDesign to Canon clc 4040 printer

Hi I have a problem that may or may not have anything to do with InDesign...
Office with 5 Mac Pros, PowerPC models, all running identical OSX 10.5.latest, Adobe CS4 everything.
All software up to date. Basically all machines identical.
All users are storing their files on the same network volume.
3 Macs can print A3 to the Canon clc 4040 but 2 cannot. This is Mac20 used by Kirsti and Mac07 used by Kevin.
If Kirsti sits at Mac20 she cannot print A3 from InDesign. It prints an A4 page, being part of the whole A3 document (its not the A3 doc shrunk to fit A4) The same goes for all other apps including MS Word. Page setup =A3, printer setup = A3, result... printer prints A4. BUT she can print A3 from Quark XPress 8.0.
If Kirsti logs in to another Mac she still cannot print A3 BUT the usual user of that Mac CAN print A3. But if they try to print Kirsti's files A3 they cannot.
All Macs have exactly the same driver from Canon. Latest version 2.0 from their website.
Deleting the InDesign preferences from the Mac makes no difference.
All Macs on same network.
All connecting to Canon clc 4040 via network using IP or using Bonjour. Same result with either protocol.
I have deleted and re-installed the printer countless times.
The only "work around" is to remove the A4 tray and "force" the printer to use A3.
The above scenario is the same for Kevin on Mac07
The Canon CLC 4040 has a "Fiery RIP" whatever that is...
Can anyone point me at where the problem lies? I have had a Canon tech on site but he could do nothing.

My experience is with CS2 on OS 10.3.9 and 10.4.11, so this may have changed in CS3, or 10.5....
Setup a custom paper size for your printer.
This can be accessed from within the InDesign Print window.
File > Print
Select your printer from the
Printer: pulldown menu (if not already selected)
Click
Page Setup... at the bottom left
Click
Settings and then select
Custom Paper Size from the list of options
Click
New, name the style, define the paper size and printable margins, and save it.
Click OK to exit the page setup.
In the InDesign Print Window, Click on
Page Setup... again
Select
Your New Paper Size in the Page Setup
Paper Size: pulldown, then click OK.
InDesign Print window
Setup should reflect the new page size and list the paper size as "Defined by Driver"
If your document page size is the same as your paper size, then the preview in the lower left should reflect that.

Faxing with the Canon Pixma MX860?

I just bought this printer,mostly so I could network print with my tablet PC, but partly so I could fax directly from my Mac. My old Canon couldn't do it: I had to print the document, and then put it on the platen of the printer, and fax from there (kinda defeats the purpose, no?!). So when I read all the specs on the Apple Store website (http://store.apple.com/us/product/TV352LL/A) that included specs on Faxing, I figurered, why would they make all that fuss if it couldn't fax from the Mac? But it now appears that I'm back in the 20th century. I called Canon, and was told that I'd be able to fax directly from the (Vista) laptop, but not my Mac! How can this be true?!?! (I have a Mac V 10.5.7). My new Mac does not have a built-in modem. Why can't it use the one in the Canon? Does anybody have a work-around????? Thanks.

Checking the Canon web site, there is no fax driver for OS X for this model, so you are out of luck. In fact, looking at several other models of the MX series, there is no fax driver for Mac OS X. So it seems that Canon has once again shown its usual support for Mac owners.
With the machines that can fax from the OS X desktop, like my MF4680, when you connect the machine to the Mac and select to add a printer queue, you see two printer names - one of which has the word fax. To add this queue you need to install the fax driver, which is a separate driver to the printer driver.

Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?

In the last month or so, I've had one problem after another with the Canon Online Store; from being unable to delete items from the shopping cart; to not being able to add "in stock" items; disappearing Wish Lists; and just now, I tried to add one lens cap to the 6 or 7 items I already had in the Shopping Cart, and they disappeared.
I've called, more than once, and I've written, also more than once, to Canon Support about this, but they ignore what I tell them, and tell me there are no problems with the Online Store. They don't even seem to report to anyone that anyone has complained, because each time is "the first time", even though I've called (more than once) and written (more than once) to them about continuing Online Stores problems.
Is anyone else having problems with the Canon Online Store?
Why does Canon not care to track reported problems with the storefront part of their web-site?
I'm not trying to insult Canon, it's just that I've been a Canon customer for less than 3 months, and the're only batting .333, so far. Canon Support was very quick to respond about a concern I had that a 50mm f/1.4 I had just purchased was authentic or not. In trying to register that lens, I looked up on the Canon web site where to find the serial number. Since my new lens did not have any numbers there, I was concerned I had been sold a fake. But, then Canon Support sent me link to a different online document that showed a few different places where it might be, and there it was.
Is Canon like that with other problems, as well? Or is their "batting" average better than my very limited experience?
I just love my Rebel T5i, and my Canon lenses (from "the Kit brothers of the Cropped Frame coral": EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM, and EF-S 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM; to the "Truly Nifty Fifty", the 50mm f/1.4 USM, [the f/1.8 is just a "thrifty fifty"], and finally, the "Super-Macro" MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1x-5x Macro)!

Hi Danny. Thanks for replying.
I only use my desktop PC to access Canon's web site, and I've been using Mozilla Firefox for years. And, yes, it is the latest version. Since Canon REFUSES to support the use of Firefox on it's web site, WHAT BROWSER DOES CANON SUPPORT? WHEN did Canon STOP SUPPORTING Firefox?
I've been told that there are 2 pending orders in my account. Yet, I NEVER placed those orders! WHY CAN'T CANON SEE THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM???
Instead of off-target suggestions, and pasted boilerplate REFUSALS TO EVEN LOOK at this issue, I would prefer it if Canon went "old school", and FIXED THE PROBLEM, in the first place! But, maybe that's a bit too grown up of an answer for you!
"Award-winning" support??? And, just exactly WHAT AWARD did Canon "support" WIN for CONSISTANTLY IGNORING REPORTED PROBLEMS??? The OSTRICH?
Please pull your head out, and FIX this problem, OR YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!!!
Thank you for your "prompt" attention to this matter!

Depending on exactly what you want to do, there are a couple of ways of handling this. You may want to access teh user guide for some ideas: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/ipad_user_guide.pdf

Image quality with the Canon 5Dmark 2 vs.. The 5Dmark3?

I use Leica lenses on a canon body with an adapter. Is the image quality with the Canon 5Dmark 2 vs.the 5Dmark3 similar? Any reason to get one vs. the other? I like the idea, that I can change the viewfinder screens on the Mk 2. Any overwhelming improvement of the 5Dmark 3 that would warrant consideration? Thanks to those who have used both camera bodies.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

The primary advantage of a Mk3 over the Mk2 is the AF. More points and it can focus with f/8. If your Leica lens is manual focus then you wouldn't care about it. The 5D3 has a little of an advantage in the ISO but not a huge factor. Other than that I'd say IQ is the same.

I recently installed an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in May 2013. It replaced an Airport Extreme 802.11N that I bought in July 2007. My USB printer (Lexmark E350d) worked fine with the old Airport, but the printer won't work with the new one.

When I try to print, I get a USB Waiting message on the printer, and when I force a page to print by pressing Go on the printer, I get a page that says ERROR: syntaxerror OFFENDING COMMAND: true. . . .cvt . . . fpgm . . . x . . .lglyf . . . <..J head . . . STACK: / [ -mark- /sfnts I’ve tried shutting down the printer and disconnecting it and the Airport, but that doesn’t help. I reset the settings on the printer. I upgraded the Airport firmware and removed, reinstalled, and upgraded the Lexmark printer driver. After I upgraded the firmware and printer driver, a few pages printed correctly, but then I got the same syntax error page as before. Any suggestions for getting the printer to work correctly?

Use a powered USB hub between the AE and the printer.. the usb port does sometimes have issues.
Try deleting the printer in the Mac and reinstall it.. the change in AE can represent effectively a change of printer.. it is important to make sure that is all up to date.
Beyond that.. USB printers.. ughhh! Consider for two toners you can go and buy a proper network printer.

How well does premiere work with the Canon XH-A1?

I've used premiere for some time now, but the older 6.01/6.5 version. I finally bought a camera based on what folks were saying of the camera, and naively believing "they're all the same when it comes to capture" -- i.e., firewire is firewire, so it's a no brainer.
The camera I bought was the Canon XHA1, and from what I see from a couple of posts, it sounds like Adobe and Canon are far from bed-partners...
I downloaded the trial version /specifically/ to test HD capture with the camera before I spent the big $$$ on the upgrade, but it seems the -one- feature I wanted to actually test has been disabled from the trial, which makes it rather worthless for me.
What I'm curios about is what format the capture takes -- previously, with 6.0 and a DV camcorder, I would capture in "raw" format and the system saved them to disk as .AVI files. With the Canon and a "competitive product", capturing HD creates a multitude of files -- separate audio files, a video file in some obscure format, a "scene" file or index indicating where the cut-points are or should be in the overall video, etc.
Honestly, I prefer the single file format for media, especially if I preview the entire tape and make a batch-capture list -- makes it easy to deal with "archiving" the captured media later on...

Thanks for the replies -- as it is, I do get a message with the other program >cough<pinnacle>cough< that my system might not adequately "capture" video. I suppose the system is getting to the "obsolete" stage, even though I followed the "ultimate linux box" article for the specs [AMD 3400, nvidia 6800, corsair memory, SATA disks set up as raid, etc.] but now that I think of it, it was probably the "ultimate linux box" for 2004 or so... ;)<br /><br />editing has been a little mushy with the other program, but so far all I've done is simple cuts and fades [oh, and one night hand-correcting the image stabilzation, but that's a story of it's own...] I'm kinda turned off by their "buy the package for $130 now, then pay more to turn on each individual feature you thought you were paid for in the first place..." I don't know if it will get to the point where it meets or exceeds the full CS3 price, but since I qualify for the discounted price of $300, I'll probably get there...<br /><br />But, back to the point -- if "all HD" is the same [separate audio and video files], then I'll deal with it and not worry too much. For the most part I don't care if the video "scrubs" properly, but I *do* care that it RENDERS properly (I can let the system render day and night if I have to) so I'll continue to squeeze a little more out of this "ultimate" system just a little longer [and in two or three years when my regular DVD player dies and "all that's available" is blu-ray, I'll upgrade when the prices are better :) ]
