No Color Management Preferences on Pixma Pro-10

JMFlores — Wed, 10 Oct 2018 22:31:54 GMT

I am using a Mac OS 10.13.6 operating system with High Sierra to (try to) print wirelessly to my new Pixma Pro-10. I don't have a CD drive on my MacBook, so I copied the software from the CD on my old computer to a flash drive and then did the install from the flash drive.

When trying to print a file from Photoshop, I'm not getting a full menu of preferences in the print dialog box. There is no color management. Only what you see here.

I"m So frustrated after seeing the preferences at one point after my first setup run today! Then I had wireless connection problems,so, I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled, and now I'm back to square one where i was when I installed the driver from the Canon site last week. Help!

Go to System preferences->Printers and Scanners.

Delete that printer.

Add it again with the "+" icon.

Wait for the IJ series printer to appear.(I'm assuming you installled the latest Canon driver from the Canon site).

You may have the Bonjour/Airprint driver installed now, which is an Apple product with reduced printer features.

True. But he also said he was using High Sierra.

Yes indeed. Missed that. Thanks for correcting me. So drivers are available.

This is exactly what I did while I was waiting for a response! Thank you for confirming I did the right thing. Working now. . . . but still confounded on how to install the Pro Plugin to Photoshop. Can't get that to work. 😞

To install PSP, go into Applications->Canon Utilities->Print Studio pro and run the Plug-in Installer.

It will ask about LR (unless you don't have LR).

Select "Next"

Select Photoshop and click "Browse"

Browse to App, find Adobe Photoshop, select the Plug-ins folder and select Open

Select "Next"

It should install.
