Which PRO-1000 drivers to install?

RichPate — Thu, 04 Feb 2021 00:18:11 GMT

Hello. I have to uninstall Windows 10 Canon drivers since Photoshop 2021 is not recognizing them, so I want to make sure I re-install them properly this time.

On Canon's PRO-1000 driver download page, Drivers and Downloads, several drivers are listed:

1. Recommended Driver (driver & software package) dated 7/20/16

2. Optional Drivers, listing Printer Driver v. 1.10 and a XPS Printer Driver v. 6.60, both dated 10/1/19.

Questions:

1. Should I install the "Recommended" driver & software package, or the newer individual 'Optional Drivers"?

2. If I install the "Recommended" driver & software package, will it automatically update to the newer drivers?

Thanks,

Rich

Hi RichPate,

The Windows 10 driver for your imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 is "imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 series Printer Driver Ver.1.10 (Windows)". It is the latest driver available for Windows 10.

Thanks Patrick, but I already installed the "Recommended" Driver & Software set.

I noticed while installing this driver & software set, a prompt indicated that it was getting the latest drivers. Did the install program access and download the latest 1.10 driver?

Hi RichPate,

Yes, the installer downloads and installs the latest version.
