Canon G7050 - Dull faded colours help

KOldfield — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 09:14:33 GMT

I have a Canon G7050 that I use with my Mac. This was working totally fine until a recent Mac update and now my prints are coming out dull and faded. Can anyone help please? Many Thanks

Whenever there is an OS update on a Mac it is always wise to re-install the printer driver. Try that and see if that resolves your problem.

If it was a major update, such as macOS 12 to macOS 13, check that you are using the latest driver as well.

Thanks for your reply John. Sadly when I go on the Canon website it says there are no drivers available for my software.

Are you running macOS Ventura? If so, the printer uses the Apple AirPrint driver.

If you go to System Settings->Printers and Scanners and select Options for your printer do you see a screen smiler to this:

Version 3.0 is what you should see.

Is it a particular software that is giving the problem? If you run a nozzle check do all the inks print OK?
