Title: Printer Settings Not Staying Saved
Post by: RogerC on September 19, 2025, 01:27:15 PM
Using a Canon ImageGraf Pro 4600
I save printer settings for different papers, etc.
I set Color Settings - Matching to 'Off'

However, when I recall printer settings, the color settings - matching has changed to 'driver matching' with a 'perceptual' rendering intent.

Why does the color settings-matching value not retain the saved value of 'off'?

Maybe the driver AI is trying to save you from a mistake (color management conflict in Qimage settings vs driver).  I can't see your settings so I can't really say.  Can you post a screenshot of your Printers and Settings tab so I can see the media type, media size, printer profile, etc.?

Regards,
Mike

You have a printer profile selected so Qimage will command the color setting to "Off" automatically if you have the driver AI settings turned on.  Not seeing a problem here: as soon as I select a profile the color setting in the driver switches (and stays) on Off.

Maybe to test it try clicking the AI Copilot button on the top of the main UI and turn OFF all the driver AI options, then try to operate the driver settings manually.  See if that corrects the problem.

Mike

Recently, colour matching setting is showing 'off' as expected when I load a printer profile.
Definitely wasn't as I left it a while before raising the issue...?!

Still seems to be doing what it should now which is good.
I'll keep an eye on it.
