Hi,

I have installed QImage ultimate and configured the scheduler for my Canon Pro-1000 to print the Unclog Patterns (half page). Of course the printer has to stay on to make this possible and also my laptop has to stay on. I'd rather not have my laptop on all the time. Is there a way to send the unclog patterns from a Synology NAS? The NAS is always on. So it would be nice if it was possible to send it from there. About 30 years ago I did something like catch the information that was send to the LPT1 port. The catched file could then be used for other purposes. If I could catch the print output from the Unclog Patterns for my Pro-1000, I then could send it to the printer via my Synology NAS using the Synology scheduler.

Would something like this be possible?

Kind regards,

Lorenz

Hi,

I am considereing buying the Canon Pro-1000 and QImage Ultimate LifeTime (QI). I want to use QI to schedule a 'nozzle print' regularly (e.g. when I am away) to prevent clogging and of course use the other options in QI.
But owning a Canon R5 shooting C-RAW, QI might not be the right choice, because I read on this forum that this isn't compatible with QI. I would hate another step in my workflow by having to save my CR3 files to TIFF. And I would not be happy with the extra diskspace involved with that. And for that same matter and others I would not like to have to shoot RAW instead of C-RAW.

Is there any progress in hacking C-RAW?
Is there a QI "schedule only" version?
Is there a way to print the QI 'nozzle pattern' to a printer in the network via a (scheduled) batch command? (I remember from the old days: copy myfile.txt lpt1:)

Thanks
