So if you are using Apple print drivers in macOS 10.15 or later, those are CUPS, not Gutenprint. Neither the Gutenprint software nor that statement have been updated since 2019. Note that the Gutenprint web page says they cannot guarantee that installation will work beyond macOS 10.14. Gutenprint integrates with CUPS, but is actually a different set of open source Unix printer drivers.

CUPS was acquired by Apple in 2002 to become the printing system for Mac OS X.

Some background and clarification: The basic printer support automatically downloaded by macOS Software Update is actually based on CUPS (which used to stand for the Common Unix Printing System) open source printer drivers. If you still don’t see the right options, I’m not sure what’s really going on, so it may be necessary to contact Canon. The following article from Macworld similarly describes this common problem and solution: The AirPrint version is usually the cut-down, basic version that may lack advanced features.

When adding the printer using Printers and Scanners in System Preferences, if there are options and one of them is AirPrint, do not install the AirPrint one.

This is a confusing thing about how macOS handles printers. How do you know if Photoshop is using Gutenprint/Gimp printer driver vs the Canon ImageGraf By won’t be labeled any differently, it will have the correct printer name.
If so, please "like" my reply and if you're OK now, please mark it as " correct", so that others who have similar issues can see the solution Having written that, I hope you're not using colour adjustments in the printer software to get your prints looking right? Photoshop is the place for that - and with a decent calibrated and profiled monitor display screen and a good printer/paper profile you'll get very close in print to what you see on screen I had a tough time with this a few years ago as the client was wanting to use wireless printing (which defaulted to the Gimp driver), wireless printing just couldn't be done with the Epson driver, we had to use a USB cable to connect the printer to get it working right. if its not available for your version of OSX, then you're stuck with Gimp I'm afraid. Maybe you'll need to download and install the Epson driver software. Try the others, when you see the actual Epson printer names you've hit gold. You should be able to select the actual Epson driver / interface in system preferences / "printers and scanners", you'll likely see your printer listed there more than once. IN media settings you should be seeing actual manufacturers paper names such as "Premium Glossy" "Premium Luster" not generics like "matte" / "gloss" etc. That Gutenprint/Gimp printer driver misses lots of features, to be fair, can be useful for unsupported old printers but the real Epson driver is far better if you can get it. I'm pretty sure you're using the default OSX Gutenprint / Gimp print driver, rather than an actual Epson driver software. I hope that is not the problem with the MX455.I've come across just this when working this on site with clients and first time spent a lot of time working out what was wrong.Īt first I thought Epson had just come up with a new very simplified driver. Having said all that, I swore off Canon a few years ago because of the crappy linux printer drivers that would not print better than 300 dpi. Gutenprint-5.3.4 Introduction to Gutenprint The Gutenprint(formerly Gimp-Print) package contains high quality drivers for many brands and models of printers for use with Cups-2.4.2and the GIMP-2.0. Brightness and contrast can be adjusted in gutenprint.
Most people have their monitor way too bright for graphic editing and get a wrong impression before printing. When it comes to printing, very often the print is dark.
I keep two profiles, one for quality and another for letters. Make sure that the printer is also set up in PCC with quality, color, paper. Quote from: rich2005 on February 01, 2016, 10:47:15 AM You should be able to set gimp-gutenprint up, the MX455 is listed which is an advantage.
