Hi - I just took a new Pro-1000 out of the box yesterday. Firmware is version 3.010. I cannot see Baryta under the top feed settings that is the first entry on the menu under the bar of ink colors. When I played around the Canon My Printer app on the PC where Baryta did show it told me the top feed was incompatible with Baryta paper.That led to some digging on the printer menus and Baryta shows up under "various settings / device settings / paper related settings / (several of the sub menus under here)".So it's there. Hope that helps.Mike
I had to update an OS drive and reinstall the print driver for the Pro-1000. The driver is the same the current one and shows the new papers in it. I updated the printer firmware last year shortly after it was released and I've double checked and the version is 3.010. However, I cannot see the Baryta setting in the LCD screen. I've looked at the directory highlighted above and it's not under any of the sub-menus (I never use the LCD display anyway). I need to do some profiling of a new Baryta paper and don't want to do anything until I'm sure the print driver will work OK. I cannot reinstall the firmware as the Canon utility already recognizes that it's up to date.
The LCD shows only papers that can be fed from the top tray. If a paper (like the new Baryta) can be fed only from the manual tray it is not shown in the LCD. I don't know why. In any case it doesn't matter what paper is selected in the LCD. Mine is always left at the "Plain Paper". The printer prints with the selected paper type set in the driver.
I think the paper setting has to show up in the LCD. I just tried to print from the driver with the Baryta setting and it says "unspported Paper". I think that the firmware did not properly install. I guess I'll have to do some trouble shooting.
There's an option in the driver to override the Pro1000's front panel settings. That's what I use with Baryta, matte, and other papers and can confirm the override option works. I just ignore the paper setting in the printer.
Hi,I get not caring about the LCD.But for my sanity - *after* you got done does baryta show up in the indicated sub-menus on the LCD? Because it certainly does on my printer, in the places indicated.Thanks,Mike
Ok, thanks very much.I had a long and tempestuous relationship with an Epson 4900. So far my first days with this new printer are pretty sweet. It sure seems easy to use by comparison. Baryta is next up in my testing, thus my interest.Mike
