      However that was written over four years before I started adding the supplementary videos, after someone from Canon convinced me that people would watch videos if I made them [they were right, I was wrong]

    Thank you SO much Keith. I am totally the kind of person who is impatient and just clicks yes yes, next next when installing anything and of course 1st time around, I installed the airprint version. Of course I did! And thanks to your video I now have the correct printer driver and hopefully more control over my colours. Woo hoo! I'm now off to learn about ICC profiles from your other videos...

    Keith, you are a lifesaver! .
    ..ok maybe a wee exaggeration, but you've certainly saved my sanity!!
    I've been going round and round in circles for ages with this... even had call with Canon a few months ago and gave up.
    ...but now I need to do a bunch of prints, some for family after a holiday... and now I have the right driver! Yes!!
    ...however... when I try and set paper size for 6x4 prints (for family before I do some large prints for myself and others) in LR Classic using Pro-300 as a printer, it won't let me choose 6x4, and forces me to create a custom size.
    so, when I do that then move on to setting up the paper size in the new driver, I have to do it every time I want to print.
    so I created a printer preset and saved that in print settings
    LR classic then shows the print filling the screen, the paper size correctly, and all the boxes on the RH side ticked correctly (rotate to fit), then I move onto the bottom right button 'printer' to check all is well only to find the paper size is shown here as A4 for some reason! so I reset this to 6x4 and press print..
    ...and I get a glorious print on 6x4 paper but not rotated so it's tiny and I've just wasted a pile of paper trying all variations but can't get it to work - do you have any idea what I might b doing wrong, or a link you can advise me to check up on?
    thanks, and keep up the great videos - your a godsend in this frustrating wilderness!

    Hi Keith,
    yes, that was my problem too when I started using the Pro-300. I noticed a strange color cast when I printed certain sub-scanned images on smaller paper. At first I thought I was doing something fundamentally wrong and tried to figure out what with the help of your written articles! It took me a few days to realize it was the stupid Airprint driver👹

    • @KeithCooper
      @KeithCooper  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Morning Keith - great video and a welcome change from more "intense" videos. I have a question though! You seem very knowledgable re Mac/Canon Printers and wonder if you are able to help/guide me. Im having terrible trouble printing to a 6x4 on Canon IP8750 using Photoshop. There seems to be a default paper size thats either overiding the settings - so thinks its A4 or if we scale then the actual image comes out small as if the 6x4 was A4 - have installed latest driver and using your methord. Have a creen print I can send you - Frustrated as hell at the moment with it! PS. on a windows PC works fine

    I have an epson p900 which i previously used on an older Imac running v10.7.x os. Ran perfectly. I just got an m3 imac with sonoma. First off usb connection won’t work. Have to use network. Ok fair enough. But…it only works for a few sessions and then back to the ‘filter failed’ message. Have to remove and reinstall to get it to work again. My opinion is this is pure utter crapification from Apple. I am not doing anything complicated…i am printing photos which i had been doing with no problem for 10 years. Now with all this ‘advancement’ it is a problem. Relly Apple?
