Pixma Pro 100 Printing Issues with macOS Big Sur

[katiegarrison]

I've been using my Pixma Pro 100 for 5+ years with a PC with no issues. I switched to macOS Big Sur, and now I'm getting blurred/hazy prints. I've tried printing through PhotoShop, Gimp and ColorSync. Here are the other things I tried with no success:

• Deleted all printers/reset printers in Apple settings and readded Pro 100 with Canon IJ using latest drivers downloaded from Canon (did not use AirPrint or Bonjour to add the printer)
• Tried Canon’s plugin Print Studio Pro in Photoshop
• Hooked the computer directly up to printer with USB cable and tried to print
• Updated the printer’s firmware to the latest version
• Cleaned printer multiple times using Utility
• Cleaned print heads manually

After all this, I hooked up my PC again, and it printed perfectly. Any advice?

In case you didn't see my edit. Click Options & Supplies and post what you see.

Sorry for the confusion! I'm not tech-savvy, so figuring this out is a challenge. (I appreciate your patience!)

OKJ. So you do have the "real" Canon driver.

I am not familiar with the ColorSync app.

Can you open the file you want to print in the Preview app?

[jrhoffman75]

What kind of file is your artwork?

This one is a high-res jpeg. I've tried tiff as well. Details below.

I've tried test prints with ALL the various settings, and they're all blurry. Then I plug in my PC, and the first print is perfectly clear and sharp.

[jrhoffman75]

OK.

If you select the dropdown arrow where it says Preview you will find a whole set of selections.

You should be able to select all te same options as you can in Windows.

What media type are you uisng? Is it Canon paper or a third party.

[katiegarrison]

I'm using double sided matte photo paper (third party). I've been using the same paper, printer, same scanner/settings, editing software, file type, etc. for 5+ years with perfect results on PC. The day I switched to mac, I had issues.

And I've adjusted the print settings in dozens of ways with no luck. No matter the settings I choose, the prints are the same (blurry).
