I use Qimage Ultimate's job log extensively, so I am often scrolling through the Open Job Log window looking for previous jobs. I have noticed a minor issue. If you click inside the vertical scroll bar, the listing jumps by more than one page of jobs. I expect it should scroll by the same amount as Page Down/Page Up so that you don't miss any job entries.

For example, if the window is sized to display 27 jobs, Page Down scrolls by 26 jobs, placing what was the 27th job at the top of the new page. The vertical scroll bar scrolls by 40, placing the 41st job at the top. Shouldn't the vertical scroll bar behave the same way as Page Down/Page Up?

Cheers!

Many of my client jobs involve reprinting some of their images from earlier projects. What I find convenient is to copy shortcuts to the original images into a new job folder so I don't have to go searching around for the original images later. Most applications (e.g. Photoshop) will open a file from a shortcut. Qimage seems to be an exception. It would be very useful if Qimage would handle a shortcut to an image file.

Thanks so much.

Cheers!

I used some Red River paper a few years back for my old Canon S9000 and in the instruction it said to turn off print preview.  Not sure why.

No I wasn't judging it. I think that print preview was already on. I do not remember putting it on. It never bothered me that their was no print preview when printing with the canon pro software and Adobe CS5 Trust me I was printing and with print preview on you get prints with a pink hue. Turn it off and no pink hue.

Since the Print Preview only shows (as a rule) the raw data that goes to the printer, it should have no effect on the color of the print.
So, I wonder, for the sake of others with the same printer, could you possibly put that check mark in the Print preview box again (without changing anything else) and see if you get pink again?
If you do, that sounds like a bug in the driver,
Is there anyone else with that same Canon pro 9000 Mark II who can verify that a check in the print preview box changes the color or the print?

Thanks, in advance.

Bottom line  the problem was picture preview being turned on. You know I spent close to 2 hrs with the Canon techs and not once was that brought up. Then I realized that in their plugin that print preview wasn't even an option.  Oh well I am a happy camper.

Glad you have it solved, but I have the feeling you weren't actually printing. You were judging the print preview?
That always looks funky because it doesn't include the profile
Glad you are fixed up

The prints are GOOD? using ICM??  I must have missed that.   I would check the profile for being the correct one for the paper and printer.
I would try a different paper and a different matching profile. Then go back to the Matching NONE settings!

Bingo  I have a friend who owns a small photo shop and he came over this morning. I explained my tale of woe and he said he would look at it.

First thing he noted was that print preview was on. He said that was causing the pink problem. I'm thinking he's been spending too much time around the chemicals but I did turn it off and then with the manual setting at None I printed with adobe cs5 and Q-image and got perfect images with both.

Well there you have it. I am hoping that someone has found out what causes this problem because I would rather not use canon's plugin. But if I must so be it.

Squiddy,
Hope this will help

Please look at the four screen snaps shown below.
If you have those set to match in your setup, then I would strongly suggest you do a nozzle /head cleaning job, and then make a nozzle check print
The fourth screen snap is the Canon Utility screen which you can get to from within Qimage.

Let us know.

I have done the nozzle/head cleaning job and a nozzle check print head alignment also. No problems there. My screens match yours with the exception that on quick set up the color/intensity Manual Adjustment IS checked off but that has to be.

I called Canon about this problem and they acknowledged that on certain systems they have noted the problem. However as they told me again and again if using their software the pro plugin caused the pictures to print perfectly I would have to accept that and well to just move on.

I guess I will have to accept that. I would still like to know why if I set it to ICM rather than none I can get your program or Adobe CS5 to print perfectly.

And again I was hoping that perhaps someone had found a solution. BTW I have XP sp3

In the end I understand Canon's position that the printer does print perfectly using their software so that all there is to discuss  well from their perspective.

Thanks
squiddy
