Pixma Studio Pro no longer works with Lightroom Classic

[KarlKrueger]

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.

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.
