So, CAN I turn off the printer's color management? Pixma Pro-100.

So, I am trying to turn off the color management function for the Pro-100...

On my Windows desktop, I use Photoshop to print with Canson Rag 210, color profile installed, allow photoshop to manage colors and print a beautiful, perfect print with the Mark 9000. Now, I have the Pixma Pro-100 and using the exact same settings, I print wirelessly with my laptop, and I get these dark, red/orange hued prints that are atrocious.

I should mention the same exact photograph printed between setups ALWAYS prints better with the Mark 9000 and my desktop. However, when using my laptop and the Mark 9000... Crap. Laptop and Pixma Pro-100... Crap. What is my MAC doing that my desktop is not?! How can identical settings print such drastic results? Photoshop does warn me (newer version on my MAC vs. Windows) to turn off the printer's color management in the printer's settings, but I do not see that option. Maybe I'm missing it? How do I do that? I'm thinking it may help!

Have you tried printing from the MacBook using Canon Print Studio Pro or letting printer manage colors? I know this doesn't specifically answer your question, but PSP is designed to handle the PS/printer interface.

Download PSP 1.3.5 from the Canon support site.

Thank you! I downloaded this but don't know how to use this. It downloaded plugins but I have CS6. The plug-ins go as high as 5. It just downloaded a folder of these plug-ins.

If you downloaded and installed PSP 1.3.5 it will work with CS6.

Here is how to print:
