Title: Canon PRO-1000 driver "Commonly used settings" copy/backup
Post by: Panagiotis on January 20, 2018, 06:06:35 am

I found a way to backup or move between different (Win 10) computers the "Commonly used settings" in the printer driver "Printing Preferences". The settings are located in
C:\ProgramData\CanonBJ\IJPrinter\CNMWINDOWS\Canon PRO-1000 series\"username".pst
where "username" is the Windows account username.
By copying and renaming the .pst file I successfully updated this way the 8bit driver and the XPS driver settings in a different Win 10 machine. 
This operation doesn't update the driver with new media settings stored at the printer. For this the default method must be used.
This maybe be applicable to other Canon printers also.
