PIXMA PRO-100 Finding Canon Paper Profiles

daoist56 — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 14:34:52 GMT

Some of us are having trouble finding the basic Canon paper profiles for the Pixma Pro-100 printer.

They are said to be included in the printer driver, but at least on my Mac, I get the art paper profiles, but no basic Canon profiles. No Canon Glossy, other glossy, Canon Matte, etc.

Canon does not offer these on it site anywhere, and so I was hoping if some kind soul had these on the computer and could post them here, that would be a wonderful gesture of kindness.

Thanks!

Did you download the latest Canon IJ driver from the Canon site? This one:

PRO-100 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver.16.60.0.0 (Mac)

In addition to robnich's advice, what software are you trying to use the profiles with?

Yes, that is the one I installed.

I am trying to use it with Photoshop and LR, both the latest cloud versions.

When you say cloud versions do you mean desktop versions from Creative Cloud app or actual cloud versions of software?

Solved.

Not sure why this would be, BUT - once I successfully installed the downloaded package from Canon, I then went and added the printer via the System Settings.

It said the printer was already there, and did I want to make a copy. I said yes, and voilà - all the basic profiles are now there.

Oddly, they are also there for the first version of the printer as well. Just in case, I think I will keep both copies, because I really do not understand how/why this worked this way.

Thanks for all the help/support - hopefully others who are struggling with this issue might find this method to work for them as well.
