Professional Print & Layout not available in PhotoShop

[bunzo1]

Running Ventura 13.0.1 on a Mac

Using PS 2023 v23.0.1

Using a new Canon ImageProGraph Pro-300 printer.

During the printer install, it recognized LRC and installed the proper plug-in for printing from LRC but, the install did NOT recognize PS and did NOT install the plug-in so that I could print from PS using File/Automate/pluginname.

I have rerun the Plug-in Install program multiple times but the plug-in never installs in PS.

Posted this question a few days ago but, don't see it listed.

Help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the link. 

The video is worth watching but, it does NOT address the issue I reported. When I ran the driver install, everything worked accordingly but the install program ONLY RECOGNIZED LRC and did NOT install the PS Plug-in files Consequently, PPL is not listed in File/Automate within Photoshop.

I fixed this by copying the two .plugin files in the PPL/Install Files/PSPlugin folder to mymac/Adobe Photoshop 2023/Plug-ins and restarted PS. 

I can now start PPL in PS, LRC or in stand alone mode.

Thanks for sharing this solution. It works.

I was having the same problem with a newly installed Pro300 (Feb2024) and wondering why Canon have not solved the issue.

Thanks! Started watching it but, it is almost 2hrs long so, I will watch in pieces.

He started out blaming this on Apple, which I question because the plug-in install WORKS for LRC... just not for PS. The installer, the plug-ins and the apps are ALL CANON... not Apple.

The printer driver for Apple can be an issue and in Ventura I don't event see where I can change the driver. 
BUT I did manage to download the new drivers and my PPL now works in Photoshop again. That info is in the very first 10 minutes.

[bunzo1]

I believe that the driver upgrade procedure is:

Periodically, check the Canon website - Software/Drivers for your specific printer.

If a newer driver is available for your printer than what you already have, you decide whether or not you want to download/install it.

You run the dmg file which in turn, upgrades your current driver. 

I do not believe there is another process to "change the driver" as you mention.

" I question because the plug-in install WORKS for LRC..."

Perhaps so but it isn't a confirmation it works with every program.
