Canon Prixma Pro 9000 PLEASE HELP.

[Tony_W]

For the love of God and all that is good in the world. Can someone please help me? I just bought this printer last night and so far I am impressed. I do have one issue though. It says the easy-photo print pro plugin is compatible with Photoshop CS3. I have searched the net and Canon's site but can not find information on how to get it to install the plugin in CS3. When I click the installer for the plugin it finds CS2 but not CS3 ( I have both versions on my MAC). I am about to pull my hair out! I know it's probably something simple but I just can't find it. Please help me sleep tonight.

I am in the same desperate situation. How did you figure it out? I'm on leopard, pro9000 and photoshop cs3 and cannot get the easy photo print pro plugin to work for anything.
I would love to know the secret!!!
Thanks!!!

that printer is cool, i have it myself, is it like a normal plug-in cant you copy it across to the cs3 plug-ins dir? i personally don't use it, i use lightroom / ps and use the calibrated monitor profile and the pro9000 profile in the printer preferences, works a treat

Perhaps you guys can help me out. I have the same printer and I am getting mixed results. What paper are you using and with what profile?

thanks

[cannockwolf]

I use canon ink, paper and the PR1 profile, i have always stuck to oem branded consumables and its never failed me, i got burnt once with third party paper and i had 400 prints dotted around the house drying lol, i couldn't move! plus the quality is better. I have had marginally good results with a jessups (UK) own brand lustre paper but it is no cheaper than canon

Cannonckwolf,
Thanks. I get good resluts with the Cannon Pro paper. My results with Illford have been poor. Would be interesting to see what others are using with what resluts.

I'm curious if anybody has a link as to what profile to use and when?? I've used a bunch of different prifiles with varied results, but can't seem to find any documetation on why to use which profile?

Currently I'm using SP1 or SG1 I believe, but I will check when I get home. Another issue I have is when printing from my laptop(XP) with the exact same setings as my desktop (vista) I get to different results. That just sux IMO, and I've wasted a ton of time trying to iron this out with pretty much no decent answer.

Now I just print everything from the Laptop for peace of mind

Best,
Jay

Worm,

See if this helps. There is also a canon guide on their site.
