Printing with canon pixma 9500 II

I have just installed a Pixma Pro 9500II printer to work with Aperture 3 - particularly in monochrome.
I can print, but I am not sure if I am using the menus correctly. I am printing on Ilford papers - and think I have installed, and am using the profile OK - but the printer only seems tp be consuming the grey ink, lraving the two blacks untouched.
My question is whether anyone knows on any good online user groups - or even bertter, good books on this subject.
Grateful for any help from the community.

It may be that your inks are old or gummed up. Open the top so you have access to the ink carraige. Unclip the reluctant inks and look at the window on one side. Full tanks will look full, partial ones will look as though the silver, horizontal bar (with a circle showing ink) has receded. You might replace that cartrige.
If gummed up, you need to remove all the ink cartiriges. Then on the right hand side of the carriage is a lever, pull it up from the front (gently). Jiggle it several times to clear any stuff. Replace the lever. Replace the inks. Print an ink test on scrap paper by pushing the second button two times. Or through the computer run a test page. Each ink prints out a rectangle of its color ... easy to tell if any are gummed up. Actually, you might want to do this first to see if gumming is the problem....
Now, for you a question: any idea why I cannot set the margins I want in Aperture 3 and not have the 9500 over ride them.

  • Frustrated trying to print from Canon Pixma 9500

    Does anyone have any tips for printing from Canon Pixma 9500?
    I profiled the screen, printer and paper using colormunki.
    Trying to print from photoshop. Frustrated that the printer interface isn't as described in many online forums (for example, it seems impossible to turn off colour management).
    Getting strange blue borders around everything when using the paper profiles via colormunki.
    Does anyone have any good tips?
    .......help.....!

    I used colormunki to calibrate my screen, printer and to make a paper profile.
    Read one site that suggested the strange blue borders are related to V4 vs V2 paper profiles...whatever that means. Apparently it is an issue printing from photoshop.

  • Problems printing with Canon Pixma ip 2600

    I'm having a strange printing issue with my newly installed Canon printer. If I print from Mail or Print Explosion, the document comes out very pale (black is light gray, red is pale pink, etc.) It almost looks like I was printing in grayscale, altho colors do print out. When I print from Word or Excel, the documents look fine. Has anyone got a solution for this? The tech support at Canon has no idea what may be the problem.
    I had a similar problem with another Canon printer; one Excel workbook would always print pale. All the others were fine.
    Thanks!

  • Red Color Cast when printing with Canon Pixma Pro 9000

    My printer is giving me a horrible red color cast after the latest software update. The color cast can also be seen in Preview and in the print window. No changes to drivers have been made. Printer worked fine before the update.
    Has anyone else found this problem and offered a solution?

    You may find it helpful.
    Thanks, but if you look in the archives of the Apple ColorSync Users List, you'll find thousands of posts from his Mac dating back to the beginning of the List.
    The principle is that you configure your device colour spaces to the largest gamut of which they are capable, calibrate them to a stable condition, characterise that condition in a measured test chart, and build ICC device profiles for those characterisations in your ICC profiling package of choice.
    You then capture and correct colour with correct colour previews, resulting in normalised exposures in an ideal CIE colour space. With you normalised exposures, you convert into output condition 1, output condition 2, output condition n which is what repurposing is about.
    But you do no apply a gamma change on top of the colour managed rendering. That is incorrect by definition. You apply your gamma change as part of the colour correction in order to get your normalised exposure.
    If you imagine this in a prepress process, then you can forget the concept of determinate rendering which is the bedrock of the ICC architecture. If you as photographer do a gamma correction on top of your presentation print or proof print, then you can claim that you have a presentation print, but you cannot contractually claim that you have a proof print as your proof print is a colour correction on top of the colour management system. If Apple Aperture allows the user access to colour correction on top of colour management, then that is a bug in the application. Sorry ...

    Have you ruled out an issue with the driver for the printer? It is possible that the material on the installation disk was developed prior to PSEv.12. I understand that everything is new, but who knows what the date of production is. You can check on Canon's web site for driver update.

  • PG-810 isn't compatible with canon Pixma mp280

    My mp280 came with a ink PG-810 but the canon site say that PG-810 isn't compatible with canon Pixma mp280
    it all I just want to know that can we replace the ink with a pg 810 
    the canon site says it is compatible with pg210 but that isn't available in my area so can I buy and use pg 810 in my printer ?
    ps the printer came with pg 810 cartridges 
    THANKS

    Hi prabhy!
    If your PIXMA MP280 was purchased or manufactured for use outside of the US, then you will need to contact support for the country where it was purchased or manufactured to be used to determine what ink tanks will work in your model. We know that printers purchased in the US may not work with inks purchased from other countries.
    To contact support for another country, go to www.canon.com and select the region or country you need.
    We hope this helps!

  • Can iPad 2 3G wifi print to canon pixma ip 100

    Can iPad 2 3G wifi print to canon pixma ip 100

    Khaled-
    The iPad only prints by WiFi, so your 3G is not involved.  There must be a WiFi path between the iPad and the printer.
    I do not believe your Canon printer is compatible with AirPrint, so you will need an alternative way to print.  Look in the iTunes store for Canon Apps that can print to your printer.  There are other Apps such as Print n Share that should work for you.
    Another way is to share your computer's printer as AirPrint over WiFi.  Printopia is a Macintosh program that can do this.  For a free alternative, search the web for AirPrint Activator.  Versions are available for both Mac and Windows.

  • Printing problems with Canon Pixma IP4700

    I used to use a PC, photoshop and my Canon pixma IP4700. With this i could achieve perfect results on an A4 image. I have embedded the correct paper profile and my colour management system was set up just right. I have now upgraded to a mac(running Snow Leopard OS) , but i am now getting problems with my prints. I opened up the exact same .psd file without changing anything and sent it off to print on my canon. The result has came out far too bright?. When i used my PC I would have a lot more controls within my printer driver screen, but now with the mac the printer driver screen dosnt have very many controls at all. Even when i soft proof the print on the print screen it dose not show it any ware near as bright as the end result print.
    I am a student of photography and i have asked a few of my class mates and they say that they have had the same problem. They tend to use a professional printers, but as i had received such perfect prints before I know this result is obtainable.
    Is there anything anyone can suggest to help??
    If there is any more information i can provide to help just let me know.
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi there,
    In reading your post I'd be curious to see the cups error log. Given that the Gutenprint drivers would not print also, I would say that something is wrong with the core printing system. The log would show which filter is causing the spooler to stop.
    Thinking that it is CUPS related, I would try resetting printing system (if you haven't done so already). Then I would add the queue again using the Gutenprint driver for starters. If this doesn't work then no need to try the Canon driver.
    Note that the Canon test print is not an actual print but an instruction to output the inbuilt data. But the test print via the Gutenprint printer queue is a page generated by CUPS. So this would suggest that the CUPS usb backend is okay and something further up the spool creation process is failing. Again, the cups error log would give some clues as to what is going wrong. As to why both driver sets are failing is interesting...

  • Printing Problems with Canon Pixma MP830 under 10.5.5.

    Hi All.
    Strange one here. I'll try to keep it short.
    A client just bought a 24" iMac (running Leopard 10.5.5) and all was great until they tried to connect their Canon Pixma MP830 to it. The client installed connected the printer to the USB port in back, installed the software from the Canon CD, and soon discovered they could not print from any application -- however, they could do a test print (cleanings, alignments, test, etc.) without issue.
    They ended up calling both Apple and Canon for several sessions and no one could figure it out.
    So I get the call. I remove the printer completely from the system, emtpied the trash, repair permissions, blew out the user and system cache, restart and installed the fresh Leopard-friendly drivers from Canon. I also ran the firmware upgrade for the printer, which took just fine. When I did a test print -- no problem. When I tried to print from Safari -- nothing.
    So I then I thought I would try the Gutenprint v5.1.3 drivers for that printer. Nada.
    I downloaded the GutenPrint 5.2.0-beta4 drivers, still nada.
    At a last ditch effort I tried a new USB cable, still nada.
    Curious if anyone has seen this problem and perhaps as a solution? Aside from buying a new printer that is (they are already shopping, but not happy about it).
    Thanks!

  • Problems printing wirelessly with Canon PIXMA iP4500

    I have a MacBook Pro 15 in 2.8GHz Core 2 Duo with 4 Gb RAM and I’m running Mac OSX 10.5.7.
    1. My Canon PIXMA iP4500 inkjet printer used to work perfectly as a printer attached to the USB port of my Airport Extreme Model A1034 modem, when my computer communicates with the modem either wirelessly or via an ethernet connection between the computer and Airport, but lately it isn’t working.
    2. When I try to print the printer icon shows up in the dock and when I click on it a Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box pops up and says the Printer is Ready but the status of the document is “Stopped”.
    3. If I click on “Resume” and error message appears: “Operation could not be completed. client-error-not-possible”. This happen repeatedly.
    4. I recycled the modem, turned the printer off and on (and did those things in reverse) and ran Airport Utility, all to no avail. I also deleted the printers in my Print & Fax System Preferences dialog box, downloaded the latest CUPS driver from Canon (ver 10.1.0.0), and recreated the printer (called Canon iP4500 Series).
    5. Network diagnostics says it can connect to the internet over either my airport or Ethernet connection but it cannot connect to the Canon iP4500 series.riousbprint.tcp.local.
    6. Also when I run the Canon IJ Printer Utility from the Canon iP4500 series printer dialog box a Printer List dialog box shows up with no USB-attached printers listed
    7. I can print if I connect the printer directly to my MacBook Pro, so I don’t think it’s a driver or USB cable problem. Curiously, when I connect the printer directly to the computer the Print & Fax dialog box automatically creates a second printer called Canon iP4500 series-1. If I use the original Canon iP4500 Series printer in this setup it says “No pages found”.
    Basically I’m stumped at this point and would appreciate some help. Unfortunately, I’m on a 3-mo sabbatical and do not have my original Canon printer software with me so I cannot reinstall the printer app unless someone knows how I can obtain it. Similarly I cannot reinstall Leopard either, though it doesn’t seem likely I should need to. Happy to try anything else though.

    Hello Basil and welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Reading your post, it would suggest there is a problem with the USB of the Airport Extreme, but I don't believe this to be case as there is not much that could go wrong with them. Instead I think there is something not right with the transport (TCP) protocols that get the data from your Mac to the Airport USB.
    At this stage, I suggest you look at installing version 5.23 of the Gutenprint driver. This version supports your iP4500 and will help to narrow the cause of the current symptom.
    Before installing the Gutenprint driver, I suggest we trash all the current Canon drivers you have installed - we can add them again later if need be.
    Open Finder and navigate to Mac HD/Library/Printers/Canon/BJPrinter. Trash all the contents of this folder and empty the trash.
    Next, navigate to the Mac HD/Library/Receipts folder. You will see the Canon iP4500 xxx.pkg and another one for the CUPS driver you installed. Trash both of these and empty also.
    Now open System Preferences > Print & Fax and delete all the Canon printers in the list (highlight and hit ' - '). It would also be handy to reset the printing system, so while in Print & Fax, move your mouse over the now empty printers list, hold down your Control key and click (or right-click if you can). Click on Reset printing system when it appears.
    Now install the Gutenprint drivers. When this is done, restart your Mac and try adding the iP4500 again. This time, after you select the Airport shared printer, you will have to open Print Using and search for the 'Canon iP4500 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'. Select this and now try printing. Let me now the result.

  • Macbook Pro 2011 not printing on network with canon pixma iP4500

    Hi
    I am not able to print satisfactorily from my 15" MacBook Pro 2011 to my QNAP TS439 server that has my Pixma iP4500 installed.  I contacted apple support and after 45 minutes the operative gave up and said it was a QNAP problem.  I am fairly sure it is not, so please read on...
    Here is what happens.  I ( myself and Apple) select the correct printer from the menu on my MacBook Pro with the correct path and printer on the server using Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  As soon as I go to print something  it says it is waiting for 10 seconds, very quickly it gets extended out past 30 seconds, but never prints.
    I have tried another driver called the Canon Pixma iP4500 Gutenprint v 5.2.3.  This  will only print in black text.  If I try to print colours, I get a very wishy washy pastel effect that just about shows that there might be some colours there.  This is hopeless and most unsatisfactory.
    In my opinion, this points the finger at Canon's printer driver that has been supplied to Apple, because the printer driver for Windows 7 works perfectly from the Windows 7 x64 PC.
    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Just a quick reply for others in case it helps....
    First you have to install the Canon drivers for Yosemite from Canon Printer Drivers v3.1 for OS X.
    Then since I had reset my Canon MP620 network settings, I had to start from scratch. I connected the printer to my new computer (with Yosemite) via USB and then launched the Canon IJ Network Tool.app (downloaded from the Canon web site) and it found the printer. However it hung on the last step "Searching for printers via access point...". At that point (after waiting a minute for it to give up), I had to read the IP from the Canon printer and enter it by hand in the Network Tool dialog.
    I then unplugged the USB cable, and went to the Printers and Scanners system preference panel. After a few minutes, the printer showed up and I was able to set it up.
    I then tried to set up the printer on a 2nd computer, running Mavericks. The Canon printer would not show up in the Printers and Scanners system preference panel, but after I launched Canon IJ Network Tool.app on that computer, the printer did show up and I could set it up there as well. This is all much more convenient than using a USB cable and sharing the printer, but, dang, is it complicated!

  • Is mac ox 10.7.4 compatible with canon pro 9500 mark II printer

  • Hi - new to the forum. I am unable to get the true colour printing I am used to from my Canon Pixma 9500 mk2 since moving to a mac and using Aperture. The colours are simply not representative of the on-screen image. Any ideas?

    Whatever I do with installing or de-installing printer drivers, selecting or deselecting colour synch or colour management options, the colour is simply awful compared to what I have been used to fir years, using the same printer with a pc and a 10 yeart old version of paintshop Pro. What is going on!??

    First guess is that you are subjecting the data to two passes of printing conversions.  If you use Aperture's color management for printing, you _must_ disable the color controls in your printer dialog.
    How this is done varies for each printer.  (The Aperture User Manual says, in full:
    To turn off color management for your printer
    Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your printer.
    Additionally, make sure you have the most recent printer driver for your printer and OS.  Printer makers have gotten good at making these files easy to get.  Most now come with installation instructions.
    Lastly, the only way to ensure that you get a good screen-to-print match is to use a hardware device to calibrate your monitor.  That doesn't seem to be your problem, though.
