Maybe your Lightroom installation got messed up somehow and Qimage (the installer) can't find it.  You could try uninstalling and reinstalling Lightroom and then reinstalling Qimage but before you do all that, there are instructions on how to manually install the LR plugin in the Plugins folder:

(1) In Qimage, select "Utilities" from the top menut and then "Explore Qimage Application Data"
(2) In the File Explorer window that appears, open the "Plugins" subfolder
(3) Next open the "Lightroom" subfolder
(4) Finally, open the QUExport.lrdevplugin subfolder and then open the ReadMe.txt file

In that file you'll find instructions on how to manually install the LR plugin.

I just updates QImage and it was working fine. Now all of a sudden I cannot get the LR plugin to bring photos into Qimage.
I uninstalled withe Revo Uninstaller deleting all left behind files and when Reinstalling the issue still continues and the UI is the same as before Uninstalling. Is there a setting I might have inadvertently screwed?
Is there a setting or utility to restore to factory or defaults and start over? All I have tried  has not worked

Thanks in advance

The problem is the XPS driver: it has many issues.  The XPS driver is only 16 bit for Canon software so it is useless (and buggy) for anything else including Photoshop, Lightroom, Affinity, etc. because the driver pipeline in Windows is 8 bits.  Qimage already does 16 bit printing via any driver including 8 bit drivers so there will be no difference in quality.

Bottom line, don't use the XPS driver and instead use the normal non-XPS driver.

It’s supposed that xps driver is 16bit, isn’t it? I have been using it for 6 months. But I have this problem, could be it related to pronto to 600ppp and image that is 300ppp. I’m enlarging in image and maybe it generates banding in solid colours. Sending the image with off (300) I have no problems resizing to 600ppp it gives me banding.

Thank you

You should not use the XPS driver with any software other than Canon's print layout software: it doesn't work properly for any other software and doesn't work as a general printer driver.  It offers no benefit and has bugs so just switch to the regular driver.

Hello i'm printing with Canon4000XPS in 16bit driver mode and i know the driver accepts images in 600dpi. My images are in 300 ppp and when i print i set Print Resolution to 600 and Interpolation to Forge. When i set this i get a small banding like when i get a clog. But if i print all to OFF i get perfect images. How i should print to get rid of the banding and printing to 600 ppp. I would like to use the interpolation from Qimage.

What i'm missing ?

Oh, no... it's never been an option when right clicking on a print on the live view.  Just from the thumbs.

Sorry, my wrong terminology!. I meant on the Page, I guess. Was there not a "Send to Editor"  on a right-click on an image on the page (ready to be printed)? I think it's the only way  have ever done it, but now the option seems not to be there, in at least the latest and the previous versions. (I have v2025.105 currently).

(BTW I love Qimage and use it a lot!)

"On Deck" is just a convenient album/collection of images and all the right click options that are available for folders are available for images on deck.  I can click the green on deck orb, right click on an image in the on deck list, and select "Send to photo editor/converter".
