TERRIBLE LOOKING PRINTS USING CANON iP6700D & iPHOTO '08--HELP!!

I just bought a brand new iMac and am attempting to print pictures from iPhoto on my Canon iP6700D. The prints look HORRIBLE. Very grainy, low res, amateurish. When I use the Canon's direct print option (you can print directly from a smartdisk using the printer's LCD screen) the quality is AMAZING. So, I'm leaning toward a configuration issue with the iMac.
I did try printing from Preview to make sure it wasn't an issue withiPhoto, but had the same issues.
Does anyone have ideas on how I can solve this?
Thanks!

Just to get you bye (until the issue with iPhoto is sorted out), Cannon has a Mac specific printing utility for your printer - EasyPhotoPrint. It should work great until iPhoto is working good for you.

Go for the drivers and software section, you'll see it in there.

Cannot print using Canon W6400 with Leopard - help????

There is an archived discussion with this exact problem, however it doesn't seem to have been resolved. I'm hoping someone can help with the issue now....
I recently upgraded to a MacBook Pro running Leopard. I cannot get my W6400 to print with it, despite re-installing, checking cables, etc. It worked fine a few weeks ago with my old laptop, so I'm assuming it's Leopard. The error message that comes up says 'Operation Could not be completed. client-error-not-possible'. I cannot find this message in any manuals, or on the Canon website. I've logged the question in with Canon, but it could take up to 3 days to get a response.
Any ideas anyone? Many thanks.

After about 7 hours on the phone with Canon, Apple, friends, etc. I rang the man I bought the printer from. He said 'no problem' and within 20 mins, he emailed me the link below - this is after Canon told me there was no updated driver as the printer was so old! Lunatics! Anyway, if anyone needs a great company for large format printers, etc ring Design Supply.

I could not print using Canon MF8300C Series with Yosemite 10.10.1

After download and installing, I am not able to print using MF8300C Series. Help anyone?

So assuming that you have downloaded and installed the Canon MF Driver v10.3.0, have you been able to add the printer in Printers & Scanners? And if yes, does this printer go through the motions as if it is going to print that then fails?

Cannot print using Canon senses LBP 6000 and Lion

apparently no drivers for Canon LBP 6000, but the printer is only 15 months old. Everything appears to work, data transfers, tells me it is printing the document, but it isn't!

If you use an earlier version of the CAPT driver on Lion, then you will get a similar result to what you mention.
So I suggest you download the CAPT v3.40 driver and run the installer. At the point where it shows Easy Install, change this drop menu to Uninstall, so that the older version of CAPT is removed. When this has completed, run the installation again, obviously selecting Easy Install this time. When it has completed, ensure you add the printer as per the instruction in the document "Registering OS X Lion.pdf" that is included with the download.

Wifi network printing using Canon Pixma MP600R

Hi, we've just bought the MP600R printer to use as a wifi network printer for three macs. An emac, an ibook and a macbook. All the computers are running different versions of the Mac OS from 10.3 through to Leopard (housekeeping!)
Anyway we've read all the troubles with Leopard so are prepared for the problems but the other probem we've encountered is that the first computer connected perfectly well (it has a 10 x 4 operating system) but since then none of the others will communicate with the printer.
Is this something to do with registering mac address with the printer? Has anyone set up more than one mac attached to the MP600R before? Any suggestions gratefully received. Life is too short to be this puzzled. best Livia

Hello Livia,
I have an MP600R that is being connected to wirelessly via 10.4, 10.5 and XP.
The first step with the configuration is choosing the wireless network the MP600R will connect to. The second step is setting the ip address; either static - which means you enter the numbers, or dynamic -which means the wireless router sets the address. Both of these functions have to be done when the printer is connected to the computers USB port.
Once the printer is connected to the wireless network, then on the Mac's you use the More Printers > Canon IJ Network setting to find the printer and print to it. When you browse the printer will be displayed with its MAC address in brackets.
For those that are not able to connect to the printer, you may find that they are using different ip address to the Tiger Mac and MP600R. Check your network settings on all machines to ensure they are using the same address subnet (typically the first three sets of numbers in the address).
If the addresses are on the same subnet, then there may be something wrong with the driver software. When you go to add the printer, do you see the MP600R after selecting More Printers > Canon IJ Network?

Not getting looks in "Using .Mac w iPhoto 5, so trying here

Received a couple of pictures via e-mail attachments. They are photos that came in as PDF files. I downloaded them to the desktop but cannot figure out how to get them into iPhoto. Dragging doesn't work and I don't see anyplace that would import.

Thanks Terence,
But I'm having a little trouble doing it. When you say "open them in preview," do you mean the application preview? Or, the preview I get to by going to print in iPhoto or another program?
The iPhoto attempt doesn't work, because I don't have the PDF in iPhoto.
In the Preview application, I could open the PDF but when I went to the Save As command, there was no option to convert to JPEG, just where to place it.

PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 10 USING CANON 7D IMAGE PROBLEMS - HELP PLEASE

I AM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH ELEMENTS 10 AND IMAGES FROM MY CANON 7D WHEN I DOWNLOAD TO SONY LAPTOP ON WINDOWS VISTA. COLOURS ARE DISTORTED, ESPECIALLY ON REDS WHICH ARE SHOWING AS EXTREMELY VIVID AND SOME BROWNS GOING TO A WINE COLOUR. THIS IS A FAIRLY RECENT PROBLEM AND NOT SURE WHAT I AM DOING WRONG?

Hi Brian,
Thanks for your reply.
I have had the 7d for 4 years or more.
The images downloaded before from the 7d, we're ok and still look ok, it is only in the past month this has happened and it is not with every image it is intermittent. Some are clear then others on the same shoot have the problem. It is even more exaggerated when printed.
I have tried Zoom browser and it is less evident on there but still shows.
I am shooting both with Raw & Jpeg and I think it shows in both.
Being a mean Scotsman I grudge having paid for Photoshop Elements and not getting the good of it.
I have tried Adobe on line but no luck and they ask me to pay for an annual contract before they will give me technical support, which is about £100.
I appreciate your assistance and any further help.
Best wishes,
Mike

MY NEW EPSON WF-7011 PRINTS TOO LIGHT IN IPHOTO-ANY HELP?

     I have a brand new Epson WF-7011 that prints everything too light. In color options, on A-4 plain paper, by using the colour options below, I get an acceptable print with the Text & Graphics setting but the print is still too light. Color options are
Brightness     -25
Contrast        +25
Saturation     +25
Cyan             -25
Magenta       -25
Yellow           -25
With these settings everything is maxed out to make the print as dark as possible. Because of the equalness of the corrections I think the colour balance is fine, just not dark enough.
This is with the print quality set to: Quality and Vivid settings, with Gamma at 2.2. When I print on Color Glossy Paper, it is even lighter because of the whiter white of photo paper.
I have an iMac running Maverics and have installed all of the most recent drivers.

If it prints everything too light then it's an issue with the printer and not iPhoto. I'd be asking Epson support.

Lines in images when printing from anything but iphoto

When I print on my computer from anything but iphoto the quality is horrible and the print has very noticeable lines in it across everything. I recently did a layout in Adobe Illustrator and when I went to print it on regular 4x6 satin photo paper there are lines everywhere. This also happens when printing from powerpoint, photoshop, word, and whatever else that is not iphoto. I cant send out things that are printed at such horrible quality. Everything comes out fine when i print text in black but photos look pixelated and have lines in them no matter what paper I use if printed from anything but iphoto.
HELP DR.

Check the printer manual about calibrating. There is a solution in most drivers for inkjet printers which may call like paper forwarding or so. It seems, that your printer forwords the paper a bit to much before the line is printed.

Poor Colour Print Quality using Canon Pixima 5000

Hi there.
I am printing to an IP5000 off the back of an airport form MBAir with iPhoto. THe colours on the printouts are completely washed out with either a heavy blue tinge (for dark photo's) or redish tinge for lighter photo's.
I have tried HP daily paper 190grm and Kodak, both suffer the same problem, so it feels like the settins or printer driver is at fault.. can anyone point me at a calibration exercise to improve this? or offer any advice?

Hello David,
I use the iP5200 at home for photo printing, which is a slightly later model to your iP5000. From the iPhoto print dialog open and the iP5000 set as the printer, I first select the paper type in the Presets menu, such as Photo Paper Plus Glossy II, which is a Canon 260gsm high gloss stock. Not sure which setting would be ideal for the papers you are using, especially given that the Preset (profiles) are based on Canon papers.
I then click Print to proceed to the normal print dialog and ensure the Color Matching menu is set to Canon Color Matching?
Also, I change to Quality & Media, ensure the media type menu showing the same paper selected in the previous Presets menu and then set the Print Quality to High?
Again, this procedure is for Canon stock. Using the Canon paper profiles may provide the unwanted results you are getting with the HP and Kodak papers, although I have used Kodak photo paper previously and the results have been okay.
If you cannot get a good result for your stock using the Canon paper profiles you may have to look at using ColorSync instead of Canon Color Matching. This would then require you to have an ICC profile for the paper you are using to ensure you get a reasonable result. Check the vendors web site for a profile for the papers you have. This will go a long way to helping you obtain an improved colour output.
Another suggestion would be to purchase a small amount of Canon photo paper. You could then print from iPhoto with the correct paper profile selected and see whether you are happy with the output. This would help determine if the paper is the cause of your current symptom.

Using canon easy print.

I am using Canon Easy Print to write on my photos, I can only access my Documents that were transfered from my PC to my imac, is there a way that I can access my iPhoto , with easy print I can put writing anywhere on my photos, seems iPhoto is very limited.

The reason why you have no access to iPhoto through Canon Easy Print is that you can see a library NOT a real folder containing image files; in order to use Canon gorgeous app temporary place into the IMAGE folder the shoots you desire to print, simple. I do every time with great results. As an alternative to this procedure you can directly print with iPhoto. Depends on you.

Can't use Canon iR C4580i to print after upgrading to Mavericks

Can anyone help to solve the problem?
I have tried to download the driver version 10.2.0 but still cannot use canon iR C4580i to print.
Thanks

Hey WKWF,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

USB printers and Bonjour-enabled network printers
Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
1. Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
2. Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
3. Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
4. Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
5. Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
1. Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
2. If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again. Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
3. Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " the picture you are trying to print is in the iphoto library" what can i do to be able to print a photo from iphoto

I am using iphoto 6.06 for my intel imac. I have been trying to print pictures from iphoto and i keep getting a message that states " unreadable file: the following file could not be imported. the file is in the iphoto library folder" also when i try to print a picture from iphoto i get a message that says "no page was selected"
not sure what happened but i can pnly print when i drop the photo onto my desktop as an 8.5 x 11 size picture and i am trying to print 4x6's

Since the new library gives you the same message log into another user account on your Mac and see if you can run iPhoto without getting that message. If you get that message there also a reinstall of iPhoto seems indicated. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iPhoto" in the file name with either a .PKG or .BOM extension that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder and from the /var/db/receipts/ folder,

Then install iPhoto from the disk it came on originally and apply all available updates to it.
