Large Landscape Prints

Thanks Fred The printer is a PIXMA PRO-100 and as I remember I could type in any size paper that i chose to under User Defined. Since Qimage never limited paper size it must be a driver problem. (Thanks Mike) I hope my machine managed to keep the old versions. If not I'll wind up scouring the CANON Site.
Ron, I have and use my Pro 100 all the time for years. I have it as my primary printer with a driver version of 286.2.40. That came off my install DVD in 2016. Plus I have verified Printer profiles made for my 100 at that date.
Mike has the same printer. I have never seen a driver change.

Yeah, as far as I know, the length limitation on the Pro-100 (and Pro-100S) has always been 26 inches. 38 inches sounds like an Epson spec.
Regards,
Mike

I wish I knew how I was able to print the large landscapes! I have two hanging on my walls and printed some for others. Problem is I never owned an Epson printer. I did have a Canon I960, I believe, but that was a small carriage printer. I have no idea what has changed. If i do find out, I'll post it here Thanks for your help!

I had one of those i960s. Burned out the head all the time.
Back to the question...... the only thing left would be if you had purchased a rip for the printer, which you likely would remember. They are very expensive.
In the meantime, stay well

If you printed with Qimage, you might still have the job in the job log.
Edit: I looked around and can't find anyone who has ever printed more than 26.61 inches in length on a Pro-100. That length limitation has been listed in the manual since the printer came out:

The only way to print beyond that is to not use the Canon driver: to use a RIP that supports the Pro-100. But I'm pretty sure you'd remember spending over a thousand dollars on RIP software if you did that. ;) QU can print a 38 inch long pano on the Pro-100 but it would have to be done in 2 sections, trimmed, and butted together due to the driver limitation.
