UPDATE; I installed the update OK, when I open PS21 and check the menu plugin's nothing is listed there. Have any links on how this feature works? Once again... I'm a beginner photo editing?

thanks

In the Windows 10 Start menu, under Canon Utilities, you should see the Print Shop Pro Plug-in Installer. Open that and then navigate to the Adobe folder in Programs, and then the Photoshop 2021 folder and select the Plug-Ins folder within it to install PSP. You might see a notice that the Plug-in Installer cannot find an appropriate application for PSP, but navigate there as above anyway.

\The support site says Elements 2020 is supported. May not be true for 2021. Do you have access to the older version to try?

Premere Elements is a video editing program and PSP would not be usable for that purpose. I assume you also have Photoshop Elements. PSP is definitely compatible with the full Photoshop 2021. I have it but don't print with PSP--it does appear under Automate. I can't be certain it's compatible with PS Elements, but I

would think it would be.

As I mentioned in my earlier posts, on my Windows 10 computer there is a Plug-Ins folder under C:/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photshop 2021.

OK did find and got OK on install. I looked into plugin menu(photo shop elements) and didn't see anything installed, also automate menu still graye out. That said, I'm a rookie... how do I use this feature and what does it do?

If you look inside the Plug-ins folder that you navigated to do you see a PSP folder? If not, it likely was not installed.

The bottom line of all this, however, is that you do not need Print Studio Pro in order to print. One can print perfectly well with the Canon driver and the print capabilities of Photoshop or Lightroom, among other applications. Although I do have PSP installed in Photoshop as a plug-in I never print with it as it offers me nothing more than I have with Photoshop.

I know for Photoshop the Automate button is not greyed out even without PSP being installed. I don't know if that is the case with Elements.

Maybe you can post a new thread asking here if people who use Elements have the Automate button greyed out or not ans if not do they have PSP installed.

That would give insight into whether there is an issue with your Elements installation or not.

I did a Google search and found that in Photoshop Elements Automation Tools is greyed out unless you are in Expert Mode -- if you are in Quick Mode it will be greyed out.

Good find Rob. I had searched previously and didn't find anything, but that was before it was clarified that Elements was the app.

WS version is a Windows printer driver. Limited features. You can delete it.
