Help with printing out of LR & PS

[Thombar]

I see all these questions and solutions (suggestions) for the Pro 100 and other printers and I'm still at an almost total loss as to how to set up my LR CC, PS CC, and Bridge to print. Can anyone direct me to a eBook or even a paperback book that explains how to print in general and more specifically to my Pro 100?

Are you using a MAC or PC?

I see many questions from MAC user's having trouble printing with the varying MAC operating systems.

If using a PC, instead of buying a book, I recommend:

I have been using it from V1, and I know several users on this site speak well of it.
The interface is quirky, but not difficult to master. Plus free streaming video tutorials on the internet.
They do give limited time free trial.

Thanks, Roy, I am on a Mac Yosemite. Any thoughts?

I too am on a Mac, I am using Canon's Print Studio Pro as a plug-in from LR5.

@Thombar did you download the drivers from the CD that was included with your printer? If not, then I suggest you download the drivers if not from the CD then from the Canon website. From PS you can then access the Canon Print Studio Pro. IN LR click Plug In Extras and scroll to Print Studio Pro, from PS click Automation Tolls and then scroll down to Print Studio Pro

Here is video created by one the forum members... he does a great job explaining how to use the plug in to print. Even though he is on a PC it is virtually identical for printing on a Mac.

Sorry, all my experiences is PC.

I know it works on the MAC - Just seems the MAC users have more issues with the driver. (Anecdotal - from reading posts on print forums)

Hi All, I think I wasn't clear enough in what I need. I have my Pro 100 and a Canon MX922 both hooked into my computer and my wi-fi. My delimmna is that Im not sure what settings I should be using in my post processing software. Do I tell the printers to let Adobe manage color, etc..

@Thombar

Are you printing directly from your photo editing software?

As far as I know, you can do one of two things, let PS or LR do the color or you let the printer/driver control the color but not both. The video I linked to goes into detail about how to do either. I think the video will help with your dilemma

@Thombar suggest you start a new thread ......Help with printing out of LR & PS. @Emulator used a free Youtube series of Tutorials and I had a peek...they are excellent, easy to follow and yo can work at your own pace. Don't despair, it can take ages for the lights to come on.....but they WILL.....have faith and persist we will help you

I agree with @3dogs. It is always a matter of personal preference, try all possibilities and settle on your own choice.

Have a look at this site if you are using LR:

The latest LR6 has some additional features and I think is particularly good at noise reduction and quality of the printed output directly from LR. LR image processing can also be rewarding.
