![]() ![]() I have to send the photos to the computer and then print them (which is what I'd do anyway. My 5D IV is a WiFi camera and it supports "Wireless PictBridge" but not "PictBridge" (it only works if it's wireless) and my PRO-10 printer only supports the wired "PictBridge" (the little details you don't know when you buy a new printer.) So I actually cannot print direct from my Canon 5D IV to my new PRO-10 printer. My 5D III isn't a WiFi camera and it supports "PictBridge". "PictBridge" and "Wireless PictBridge" and they are NOT the same. I don't know if you use PictBridge (I do not) but it supports "Wireless PictBridge" (there are two different standards. If you're worried about how long a device will be supported, that's the newest of their printer line that can still fit on a table (beyond that they are floor-standing printers). The ImagePROGRAF PRO-1000 is the newest (it was introduced 2 years ago) but note that this is a "PROGRAF" line not a "PIXMA" line. Canon's "dyes" actually do claim to last far longer than a typical dye-based inkjet and similarly Canon's "pigment" technology had a lot of work go into preventing the nozzles from clogging. Canon are pretty good at dealing with both problems. I've seen dye prints that look terrible just a few years (e.g. "archival" refers to how good it will look in the future. "pigment" printers tend to be much better at "archival" quality (color fidelity lasts much longer) but might be more prone to clogging the nozzles. that's a $500 "dye" printer.Īs a generalization, "dye" printers are less likely to clog the nozzles but typically the inks do not have "archival" quality (they fade with time). Basically at that point you're on your own (use internet communities to see if someone knows any tricks - basically exactly what you're doing now.)Ĭanon's PIXMA PRO line are still current, but even those came out a few years ago. once the printer vendor stops making drivers available (and they will stop once they haven't made that model in many years) then Apple has no way of supporting it. you should see a Canon folder but in my case it was a Xerox folder) and I needed to copy that to the new OS after the upgrade.īut the thing is. within that you'll find another folder for each printer maker (e.g. That "right place" turns out to be the /Library/Printers folder. so I figured out how to take the old printer driver and install it in the right place. Since Xerox wont make a driver available to Apple, Apple's operating systems no longer recognize it.įortunately there hasn't been much change to how printers actually work in many years and I'm a Unix guy. Xerox no longer supports it and wont make a driver. while the printer still works fine, it's old. the wax blocks are actulally fairly cheap. I think I paid close to $2k for the printer BUT. It actually prints color much faster and much better than any color laser I've used. It's a technology they got when they took over Tektronics. I bought a (then) very expensive Xerox printer which works similar to a laser (high speed) and prints color, but it's actually a wax printer (it takes blocks of color wax). ![]() I'm a work-from-home employee but occasionally I need to print fairly thick documents and wanted a printer that could do this in a reasonable amount of time. I have a similar (but not quite identical) problem with a Xerox printer that I bought many years ago. Has anyone else experienced this, or is ot just me? I have the latest Canon driver, but I notice it's not officially certified for OSX later than 10.12. ![]() I can handle this for occasional work, but it's hopeless if I'm preparing a series of prints. To remove the worst conficts I have to delete and then reinstall the printer. The workaround is then to go into System Preferences, Open Print Queue, and keep deleting until all outstanding jobs have been removed. Then the printer accepts the job but reportws a conflict and won't print. Sometimes deleting the completed job is all it takes, but I find that if I change parameters - paper size or quality, margins &c - the previous settings hang on after the job has been deleted. Since the latest update, I find that print jobs stay in the queue after they are complete, the printer reports it's istill n use, and no further jobs can be sent until the queue is purged. Since the latest Apple OSX upgrade to 10.13.3, I have been having trouble printing from Lightroom/Photoshop from my elderly but reliable iMac 27' mid 2011, to my also elderly Pixma Pro 9500mk ii.
