Updating Canon Pro 9000 Mark II to run on Catalina

[swg1619]

Hi!  I would like to know if there are updated drivers for the Canon Pro 9000 Mark II to run on the Mac OS Catalina?  If not, can  we be expecting one soon?

I received your private message. Did you receive mine?

Yeah! I sent an email back

Maybe a little late with this response but nevertheless, I have printed and everything was perfect. Had to use Canon paper because I couldn't add Red River profile but it came out perfectly.

Hello -

I've been reading the thread as I have the Canon Pixma Pro9000.

When I connect via USB and try to add the printer on my Mac (Catalina), I cannot proceed as it asks for a driver or software, for which there is none according to the Canon website.

Do you know of a work around?

Many thanks for the expertise!

You don't need to add it. Just look in your preferences under printers. It should be there. Let me know how you make out. swg1619@msn.com

Yes it shows up when I go to add it as  printer under preferences/printers however it won't let me complete the printer "add" (add button is greyed out) unless "I choose a driver" or "select a software" under the "Use" drop down.  Otherwise it is not listed under the printers.

Aren't you printing through software?

[swg1619]

If I remember correctly, and I'm using it to print photos through Luminar, is that you only need to connect it. It's the only work around. Since it's a 32 bit printer and Catalina is only for 64 bit you won't be able to add it in that way. If you are printing through any program though, it should show up when you print a photo through Photos, Luminar or other programs

Thanks so much - I don't have Luminar but will try this work around by printing through Photos.  I can see if it works through Lightroom as well...

Let me know! I think as long as you are attached, when you go to print, you’ll get the printer showing and will be able to print.
