Pro-100 terrible disk printing color cast

I am getting a terrible yellow/orangecolor cast when printing disks on my Pro100 printer. I'm using the latest Easy Photoprint EX software on Windows 7 64-bit to print on Verbatim AquaAce Glossy disks. These disks printed beautifully on the Epson Artisan 730 printer I used to own. Literally no color issues ever. However on the Pro-100 prints them up borderline unusable.
All other prints from the printer on regular and photo paper turn out perfectly. I've literally never owned a printer with output this good - except for the disks. I'm using the "Printable Disk (recommended)" setting with print quality set to "high".
The Photoprint software has ZERO color controls so I am unable to correct the color cast in software. What's going on here? Do I have any other options to try and fix this?

The fact you paper prints look great. And you tried two different brands of DVD's with the same results tells us something.
The printer and the computer is working OK. There is somethign else that is awry. Some setting is worng. With out knowing your complete process it is not possibile to pin point it here. More info from you as to what you actually do is needed.
Exactly what you do!
Switching disks is not likely to help. You don't need the 'High' quality seting as 'Standard' works well..

My HP Officejet Pro 8600 is randomly printing coloring sheets most often during the night!

For about a month, my HP Officejet Pro 8600 is randomly printing coloring sheets, valentines, etc. Usually this is happening at night! The pages use a lot of ink! How can I get this to stop? Is this part of HP's eprint?? Help!

I purchased a Pixma Pro-100. My prints do not reflect the edited images from CS6/LR5.

I just got a Canon Pixma Pro-100 printer. I'm running CS6 and LR5. My monitors are calibrated, my color space is Adobe RGB (1998). I want the Photoshop /LR to manage my color. I (believe) am using the correct profile for the Canon paper (Pro Luster). However, my prints do not reflect the edited versions I am viewing on my monitors. The colors are darker, dull, a bit on the reddish side, and not as vivid as what I am expecting. Is there anyone out there who can guide me to the proper way to set the up my printer and color space? I this is very confusing to me.

You don't need any additional gadgets to set up your monitor(s) and the printer. Mostly you will just frustrate yourself and waste a lot of ink and paper. Stop wasting your time with them, too.
You do need to get three things set carefully. You need the brightness, the contrast and the grey-scale set right for the printer.
Big point to remember you are dealing with two completely different types of color. One is light and the other is dyes. They will never match exactly except for maybe one or two colors at a time. I generally shoot for flesh tones as that is what people notice mostly.
Always check the details and never let the printer do any color managing. All Canon printers I have worked with have a reddish bias. You can not or at least it is very difficult to get rid of it. Canon engineers seem to prefer a warm tone in their printers.
I curently use three of the Canon Pro printers form the 9000, 9500 II amd the 100. All are great printers. But right now what you are seeing and what you are sending to the printer is different. These need to match or you need to know what to adjust in PS to make them match. Don't use LR to print, it isn't as good as PS and it will be different. If you must, stick to either/or but not both. I prefer PS.
Always shoot RAW and use ACR to convert in either LR or PS but I always print from PS.
Let me know how you get along.

Canon Pixma Pro 100 won't print

Hopefully someone can help. I just purchased a new Pixma Pro 100 and diligently set it up using a USB connection to my laptop (Windows 8, 64 bit). The printer printed the alignment page fine, but won't print anything else (including a Test Page from the device Properties box). I immediately get an on scree error message when trying to print.
Any thoughts out there?

Unplug the printer for 15 minutes. Unplug it from everything. Don't use My Image Garden. Use Easy Photo Print EX (came with your printer) or some other program.

Officejet pro 6500 no longer prints color

My Officejet Pro 6500 (A909) will no longer print in color. I've done all the basic checks - print cartridges full, clean/align print heads, etc. to no avail. I've restarted the device as well. The all-in-one is less than a year old and did print color documents initially. But now, it will on print in black and white. I'm using the same computers as before when it would print in color. What could be causing this and how to fix it? Thanks

Sorry> That was the 8500, not 6500 All-in-one

Pro 100 Won't Print Borderless

I've tried printing out of image garden, out of InDesign, out of Photoshop, out of Illustator, as a PDF but nothing seems to make my printer want to print borderless.
I've tried A4, 5 x 7, custom paper sizes, images that are exactly the size of the paper but nothing seems to be working.
Am I missing something?

What paper are you using?: From Canon website:
"6.5 or later or Canon ImageBrowser 6.5 or later for "MOV" files, or Canon ImageBrowser EX 1.0 or later for "MOV" or "MP4" files.
Envelopes, High Resolution Paper and certain fine art papers are NOT supported for borderless printing."

Pixma Pro 100 : Unable to print 13x19" from Apple Macbook Pro

I've got the latest drivers and firmware.
Primarily attempting to print from Apple Aperture; A3 and A3 borderless work fine, but neither use the available space on my 13x19" paper.
Any custom settings for 13x19" result in either A) 3x5 print on 13x19 paper, or B) out of paper alert (1006?).
I also tried printing from adobe photoshop elements 6; there was a "super B" paper size here, but again the prints either printed borderless 13x19" but with poor random cropping, or I got the no paper error, depending on settings. Same results when printing from Apple Preview.
So far the largest print size I've gotten successfully is 11.6x16.6" using A3 borderless.
How can I get a 13x19" print or largest size? Thanks

The fix for mine was to go into system preferences, printers & scanners, then remove all references to the Canon printer. This also removed the apple drivers.
Then, download all drivers from Canon's site to your desktop.
Then in the printers & faxes pane, click plus, and select the printer from there- you may need to select the drivers on your desktop. Somehow this forced install of the canon drivers over the apple drivers, which seem to get priority otherwise.
After doing this, the A3+ paper size appeared in my apps as an option for the Pixma pro 100, and I had the utilities tab appear for this printer in the control panel.
I called Canon tech support to figure this out, they were quite helpful.

Using Pixma Pro 100, can I print twice to a sheet of Luster Pro?

I have some early prints where I mis-sized the image and ended up with a lot of extra white left over. Can I run it through again and print to the unprinted areas?
Solved!

"Can I run it through again and print to the unprinted areas?"
Yes you can I do it all the time. But ONLY after the print has completely dried. I mean DRY! Several hours is required. If you get ink all over the printer's rollers and/or paper path, you will not be a happy person.

Pixma Pro 100 printing dark and muddy

Hi,
I have seen several threads about this and tried to read those over and learn from them first but I'll admit to being so lost.
I've had the printer since August and previously had a PC with Windows 8. Since December, I've been using a Mac. With both computers, though, I always got dark and muddy prints, especially with blues and greens. I have installed drivers and looked for any software updates and the Canon website says I'm up to date. But when I go to print something, in the drop down box there are two options for paper - plain and photo. With my PC, there were a dozen or more options (matte paper, glossy paper, art paper, etc.).
I have installed ICC profiles from Red River Paper, as I did with the PC.
On a previous thread, I saw to go to Canon My Printer and then to settings. I'm guessing that's software? I don't seem to have that on my computer. I looked online and it came up on various software download sites but not the Canon web site. I am leery about installing from one of those web sites so I didn't.
After reading another thread, I went in to PhotoShop and selected a different color space (Adobe 1998).
I apologize for being so lost but apparently I am in need of super-simplified instructions. I cannot seem to figure this out. It's so frustrating and discouraging. I appreciate any help!
Thank you!

First, you must not let the printer set anything. Turn off every bit off control it has. You can do this with the Canon My Printer under the Printer Settings tab. Do you know how? I will guess, yes, for now but if you don't get back to me.
Second, you need to have your photo editor (like Photoshop) handle all the settings and color matching. You know how to do this? I prefer Photoshop.
And lastly, it is essential you get some settings on your monitor that somewhat matches what the printer is printing. Your printer may be doing exactly what you are telling it to do and you have no idea it is, because your monitor is so far off. If you don't do this step, you can forget the other steps. However, there are only a few things that you need to be concerned with. You don't need any fancy extra add-ins to do this. No additional software or gadgets, no spiders or monkeys, etc.
But you must get the gray-scale very close. You need to get the brightness very close and you need the contrast very close.
Most folks set there brightness way too high by default. This presents a big problem when judging prints. You need to judge your prints in good light, preferably daylight. Again they may be correct and you don't know it.
After you do these things you can make adjustments to your prints by just looking at your screen. Because you know the monitor and printer are on the same level. One more point, you can NOT get a printer to print every color exactly the way you saw it. It isn't possible as all colors and adjustments effect all others. My goal is to get the skin tones right. That is what people notice most. Remember you are dealing with two different disciplines here. One is colored light and the other is colored dyes. They are not the same thing.
For instance, I know my Pro-100 tends to print darker than what I see on the monitor (typical for most users). So, I automatically know to set it's prints 1/2 to one stop brighter in Photoshop, in my case. It also prints with a slightly warn tone. Most of the time, with portraits especially, this if OK but sometimes it is not. In that case I adjust the "temp" setting slightly cooler in PS.
All the Canon photo printers I have ever seen have this warm/magenta cast. Canon engineers must prefer this look. It can not be changed. You need to "fix" it in post. You will also likely see a color tint even in your B&W prints. This is normal.
Make sure you have the correct ICC profiles and you are using Canon brand ink and paper until you get good with the printer. Very, very important, otherwise you don't know if the printer is doing exactly what you are telling it to or not. This is a must!
Important to, use the USB connection until everything is right. You are just adding another issue when you try to set up the printing and the wireless all at the same time. Just like using Canon branded products until it is a go. Use a real printer USB cable. Not just any old USB cable.

Pro 100 printing

I replaced a HP Photosmart B8550 with a Pro-100 recently. In printing images both that I printed previously on the HP and some I have only printed on the Canon Pro-100 I am having frustrating results. I am getting darker prints and less intensity of color from the Canon. My paper is Canon Paper Plus Semi-Gloss. I end up having to adjust the brightness and saturation using Photoshop Elements 10. Otherwise this is an excellent printer

I am very confident in saying your Canon Pixma Pro-100 will never print the same as your HP did.
There are just two different design philosophies between the two companies involved here. I use both HP's a Canon printers.
I prefer the Canon's over HP's (right now!)
First and foremost your monitor must show you what you are printing. If it doesn't than you may as well take up fishing instead.
Confirm this before we go any farther. If you set your gamma and grayscale correctly that may be all you need do.
Windows has a built in calibration feature and you can make use of it. I don't know if MAC OS has that but in either case it must be done.

Pixma Pro 100 Colour Space Questions

Hi
I Have a few questions related to Printing from lightroom I am new to this so bare with me.
1) I have a canon 7D I shoot in Raw 12-14 bit ? and most of my processing is done within lightroom so no need to export to photoshop however if i was to would this export as a 16bit file tiff or Jpeg ? If so if I was to after post processing in photoshop then back into lightroom this would only allow me to print in tiff or jpeg is this correct as a psd file/jpeg ?.
2) As I only edit in lightroom I can print directly in CR2 Raw format 12-14bit by using the canon print studio pro plugin ? or is this exported to the translator as a 16bit file ? and then use the paper manufactures ICC profile i.e (canon paper) for best results do I lose colour print quality by printing from Raw 12-14 bit rather than 16bit tiff/jpeg.
3) By using the Paper Manufactures ICC Profiles will the original raw file 12-14bit from 7Dcamera sRGB be translated to the printer by default from lightroom or is the colour space not needed as I havent converted to 16 Bit in post processing?
3) I havent had my monitor calibrated yet but intend to do so in the future, but until then I see no point in messing around with pro mode or sRGB or Adobe RGB or Pro photoRGB.
4) If I use lightrooms canon print studio pro pluggin is the colour space automatically translated from the settings in my camera or do I need to enable this in lightroom first ?.
5) I use a Mac running yosemite 10.10 and would like to know more about ICC profiles where to find the manufactures ICC Profiles how to download and where to store can you recommend a common website for learning how to do this on a mac ?.
6) As you can see I just want to print the best images from camera to printer without to much science involved however I am willing to learn but get confused with the different workspace post production softwares menu's for best results which i would prosume until i get my monitor calibrated proffesionally would be to print from Raw with the Manufactures ICC Profiles ?.
7) Are colour space and calibration settings all about printing what you have on the screen or is it mainly for extra colour depth in the print ?.
I can self calibrate my monitor to adobe RGB and have my camera shoot on adobe RGB -calibration with software but have been told i need colour monitoring devices correct ? if I was to do this and still just used the ICC paper profiles would the prints be any better ?.
My first prints were excellent very similar to what I see on the screen anyway but I checked lightrooms settings and these are on Pro photo RGB for external editing and is this the colour space for print studio pluggin also or is it just native Raw sRGB if I change the settings it says I will lose the maxium potential colour space.
sorry for the influx of questions :-)

You can not set the printer to match the monitor. You must set the monitor to match the printer. But the printer is already calibrated by the factory.

Want to print remotely to my HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw

Hello! I have a
HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175nw printer in my office. It is connected to my wifi network from the office and i can use it from several laptops from office with no issue.
Now i want to be able to print and scan papers from my home pc also which is connected to my home wifi network.
I found there it is possible to print pages over internet. Except hpeprint option, how can i add printer from office to printer list from my home pc.
Please help me.
Thanks!

Hi Tolick,
Thank you becoming a member of the HP Support community. I understand that you have an HP Laserjet 100 at your office and you would like to be able to print to it when you are at home.
Super_Dave is correct with the solution he gave you. I just wonder if you have set up the ePrint feature of your Laserjet yet and customized the ePrint email address? If you have then using the ePrint software that you installed on your laptop should allow you to print to your office printer from home. The instructions on how to do this are in the HP ePrint Software User Guide on page 16 in the section titled "Use HP ePrint (Windows)".
If you haven't set up the ePrint feature of the printer I have included a two documents for your reference. The first one is how to get the claim code and the second is how to setup the customized ePrint email address. This may the step that is missing to make the ePrint software work for you.

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw Print missing/faded down centre of every page

HP Laserjet Pro 100 Color MFP M175nw. Operating on Windows 7 from my laptop wirelessly. Just bought this new a few day's ago and each page of print has about 20mm wide streak missing print running down the centre. what can I do to correct this problem? I have tried printing a cleaning page a couple of times and calibrating color from the Print Quality Menu also a couple of times but this has made no difference. I'm using a Premium quality paper for use in laserjet printer's. Could someone please advise me what I can do. Thanks in anticipation.
This question was solved.

Hi Watcher35,
I see that the new Laserjet Pro 100 MFP M175NW is missing print down the center of the pages, you have ran cleaning and color calibration but the issue is not resolved.
Would this be an accurate example of the issue: but with the "Bb" would be completely missing?
This HP document: Resolving Print Quality Issues may take you though some of the same steps you have already done, I suggest not skipping any steps.
If the troubleshooting does not help resolve your issue, I would then suggest calling HP's Technical Support to see about further options for you. If you are calling within North America, the number is 1-800-474-6836 and for all other regions, click here.

PRINTING IN COOL DOWN MODE PROBLEM IN HP LASERJET PRO 100 COLOR MFP M175a

i recently bought HP Laserjet pro 100 color MFP M175a but it prints like 40 pages and goes to cool down mode and it takes like 10 minutes to cool and again it prints 40 pages so i donot the problem

Hi @teko2014,
I see by your post that the printer keeps going into a Cool-Down mode. I can help you with this. I can help you with this.
I have provided a document with Resolving Control Panel Messages.
Make sure the printer is connected directly to a wall outlet. (don't use a power hub or a surge protector) This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help this situation.
Update the printer's firmware. HP LaserJet Pro 100 color MFP M175a Drivers.
Select your operating system, click next, click the link for firmware.
Where is the printer located? (enclosed cabinet, desk)
If the printer is in a enclosed area, temporarily move it to another open location and try printing again.
