WHY there is no color management option in my printer setting dialog box???

[sandrapjb]

Hello,

Can someone help me find the Printer's color management in my photoshop setting dialog box, please????

I have all right:

- working space in Adobe RGB (image profile in RGB as well)

- a calibrated monitor

When I use the printer manages the color to print, the colors come out very close to what is on the monitor. When I try the paper's ICC the photo print gets a magenta cast (actually all colors get messed up). I understand that I have to disable the printer's color management, but I can't find where to click. All dialog boxes I found on the internet are different than mine - below!

Help, please!!

tks

Thank you gener7! I saw this! I'm all good with ICC and profiles, but I just cannot find the printer driver to turn off the printer's color management (her last step)! my dialog box seems to be different from everyone else!

The Canon Professional Printer community may have an answer. Supposedly Canon supplies Mac drivers that you can select over the generic Bonjour drivers I seem to be looking at.

thank you, gener7! Just posted there. Let's see. I have the feeling it's about adobe and Mac....

The key word is Print Settings or the settings dialog the Print driver shows.

Adobe Photoshop does not control that anymore than your Canon's on/off switch. You can even go into Printers under Apple's System Preferences and see if you can do it there, but I have a feeling what you see in Apple's Preferences is what the Adobe Print dialog sees.

So that's what makes me think Canon would have the better answer.

ok! I'm sure you know more than me about these things!!! I'm overwhelmed and frustrated. The best images that came out of my printer are color managed by the printer, not the paper's ICC!

I will keep searching answers for those keywords!

Thank you!

Hey gener7, just stopping by to say thank you! You were right, Canon community worked! I needed to update the driver version!!! Just that! Incredible!

Tks,

You're Welcome. One of the most difficult troubleshooting calls is in knowing in whose section the problem is.

Difficulty: When someone tells me their printer works fine in "Bongo Paint", so it has to be something in Photoshop.
