Canon ImagePrograph 1000
Posted: Sun May 28, 2023 11:35 pm
I bought Printfab XL and upgraded to as far as it would allow me to without purchasing another license. I have version 1.13 installed. I had a Canon Pro 10 which Printfab worked just fine for printing halftones and films. That printer died. I read 1.05 added support for the Canon ImagePrograf 1000. I figured 1.13 would work, so I bought the Pro 1000. I've tried everything and the printer refuses to print anything from PrintFab.
I load a document in Photoshop, choose printer handles colors, open the PrintFab dialog. I choose A3+ (13x19), 1200 Super dpi, tried both transparent film and pro photo matte paper, I tried both automatic (front feed) and manual feed, set the brightness to 130, left intensity as is, went into the screen print options and tried both single black - prehalftoned, and single black 45 lpi, 25 angle, 240 saturation, spray dot size 2.
PrintFab accepts the file. Opens the print preview dialog. Looks great, click on print and the spooler opens. The green process bar passes once. The print job is successfully sent to the spooler. The printer display screen lights up as if its preparing to print.....then NOTHING happens. The printer screen stays stuck on preparing, the spooler and print manager says the file is being printed, no progess, no errors, no crashes, the printer vacuum doesn't kick on, doesn't even feed the film, it's just stuck. I've uninstalled Printfab, and re-installed. Same thing happens. Does version 1.13 really work with the Pro 1000? I know Version 2.1 works just fine, but I didn't want to have to pay again if the printer is supported in 1.13. All I do is print films.
I'd offer an error code if one would ever be genereated. Am I doing something wrong? Any assistance would be helpful. Thank you.
