Pixma Studio Pro no longer works with Lightroom Classic

Does anyone have the number for calling Canon support? I used to have it but lost that number. Now I can't find where you can dig it up. Online doesn't help much. Talking to someone will correct this in a second.

Have others of you had this problem with PSP not working in the latest update of LIghtroom. PSP still works in Photoshop.

With the latest version of Lightroom Classic Adobe changed the name from Lightroom Classic CC to Lightroom Classic. The update installed the program in a new folder, rather than simply updating the previous install.

Copy the plugin from the old folder (Lightroom Classic CC) to the new folder without the CC. Or rerun the plug-in installer.

Thank you - that was an easy fix as it should have been.

I too have lost PSP in LR Classic. However the solution to copy file from previous Classic to New Classic not workable. First, previous LR Classic CC files are gone, and 2nd, in new LR Classic, where are PlugIn files located? Ran PSP Install, it didn't offer to find LR Classic. Need better instructions from Canon, this has happened before.

Windows 10/64 I also went to the Canon install app listed under All Programs and although it said installed to Photo shop, it doesn't show up on the menu, and for LR, file error, no install.

Big thank you for your "tutorial" on getting PSP reinstalled in Lightroom AND Photoshop. Appreciate the screen shots you made to guide me through. Very helpful.
PSP is the most valuable "tool" in making great prints on the PRO-100, it would be very frustrating to work without it. Thanks again.

Somebody should point out that the name of the plug-in is Print Studio Pro, not Pixma Studio Pro, and I guess that I am that "somebody".

Also, and I have posted on this subject before, I am puzzled why so many posters seem to depend on PSP for printing. I cannot see any additional features that ease or simplify printing compared to using Photoshop and the Pro-100 printer driver. I have Lightroom Classic but don't print from it, and I suspect the same is true for using LR and the printer driver. Perhaps I am missing something.

You are correct. It is possible to do what a Photoshop and the printer driver ( or Lightroom and the printer driver) do, but some folks are more comfortable using a single application.

PSP will automatically turn off color management in Windows,something some folks have a problem with.

For macOS the Canon driver doesn't offer the pattern print like Windows does. They can get that in PSP.

I don't use PSP but if someone feels it is working for them I won't try to dissuade them.

You are correct, PSP = "Print" Studio Pro. If you have a good, reliable work flow, yes, PhotoShop + Canon PRO-100 driver probably is a good way to go. However, I've found the PSP has been very efficient in putting together all the factors needed in printing from the PRO-100, sizing, ICM paper/color management, minimizing paper/ink waste and loss. It's not perfect, but takes care of many things, and I often print from Lightroom with great results. When I first got my PRO-100, I struggled with prints too dark, light, so on and with cost of Canon paper and ink, lot of money going down the drain. PSP helped minimize that.

BTW, how PSP helps resolve PRO-100 printing issues is why many people who use Affinity Photo and other photo editing programs are clamoring for PSP to be available to them.
