    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 ?

    Paul, I have tried printing these targets:

    http://people.csail.mit.edu/ericchan/photos/tmp/RGB1728EyeOneIOTargets.zip

    with ACPU and they come out correctly sized (i.e., exactly 7.5" x 10"). I compared the result with printing the targets from CS3, CS4, and CS5, and they all come out exactly the same size.

    My personal test setup was Mac OS 10.6.4 + Epson 3880 + driver 6.60.

    What's your system config?

    Eye1 targets that should be 263mm x 173mm (8bit utagged TIFFs 1050px x 692px @ 101dpi) are printing out at 253mm x 167mm on my printers here (Epson 3800/1800 Oki B4200).

    I'm not the only one suffering this (see reports on luminous-landscape.com forums).

    The interface isn't up to Adobe's usual high standards either, should this really be released yet ? it seems rather a beta version to me.

    Using Windows 7 64bit, fully up to date, patched and using the latest drivers.

    Certianly looks like a bug on the Window side. Does it resize when you print to a PDF file?

    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.

    http://www.dypinc.com/Canon/AppColorMatchingInfo.xml.zip

    The file goes here.

    /Library/Printers/Canon/GARO/Frameworks/GARO_CUPS.framework/Versions/A /Resources/AppColorMatchingInfo.xml

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