Does the print job ever get to the queue? Enable Show Print Jobs. If it shows up there what does Job Info say?  Also look at the CUPS log files which might give a indication as to what is going on.

Can you explain why this resizes target images ?

I just installed Adobe Color Printer Utility.  It prints ok, but it will not print borderless on 4x6 media.  I select sheet(borderless) and 4x6 landscape, but it prints a file 4x6 and always leaves a white border on the right hand side and at the bottom of my image.

I am using Windows 7 64 bit and an Epson 3880.  All drivers are up to date.  I have tried all adjustments including setting the bleed expansion to maximum, but it still prints a bit off center.  Apparently the center of my presized 4x6 at 360 dpi is 4mm high and  4mm to the left.  Have you encountered this problem?  If so have you solved it?  

Notice white border at bottom and right.

For what reason do you want a profiling target at 4 x 6?

And what the heck does a photo of an airplane have to do with printing a untagged profiling target?

Did you even read the title of this thread?


I just installed the "Adobe Color Printer Utility."  It is printing off center.  I would like to correct this before I proceed.   I consider your reply just plain rude.  You replied with 3 condescending questions.  You are not helping solve Adobe technical problems by offending people who are just trying to use Adobe applications to the best of their abilities.   You made me feel bad.   There was no need to bully me with smart questions.  I hope your day goes better, and I hope you do not treat other people in these forums like you treated me.

Here is the fix so the Canon iPF drivers properly default to No Color Correction.

On OS X, because of Canon's use of a special casing file to identify  applications that when choosing application manages color printing, set  No Color Correction instead of Color in the printer driver, the Adobe® Color Printer Utility  needs to be added to the AppColorMatchingInfo.xml file.

This file includes all previous updates.

The file goes here.

Make sure you save the original in case you want to go back to it.
