Print from Windows Client is only in GreyScale
Posted: Thu May 29, 2014 8:54 pm
Hi, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 with TurboPrint as the printer manager. A Canon Pixma Pro 9000 mk ii is connected via USB to that server. The printer is shared and is accessible via CUPS http/ipp protocol for clients. Printing from the server itself and from clients running Ubuntu is great, awsome colors and detail. However, printing from my Win 7 laptop only yields greyscale images, again the quality is awesome, but I need to be able to print in colour.
As I understand it, when printing from Windows, the Win computer connects to the 'raw' queue. So, from the windows computer, I setup the printing using http://myserver:631/printers/canonpixmapro9000, for example. Then when I setup to print from Corel PaintShopPro, and configure for 4x6 borderless, color, etc. for example, it always prints in GreyScale.
What am I missing here? Is this just a problem with the Pixma Pro 9000 (I also have another printer connected but haven't been able to test from Windows yet). Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks, Danté
