Can anyone point me at a list of supported printers for the new AI feature.  I know it only supports Canon and Epson but does it support my rather old and clanky Canon Pixma Pro 9000 mkii?   Sadly some paper manufacturers are removing or not bothering (with new papers) to produce ICC profiles.  As such I now only buy from those still providing those profiles.  Lost sales for some.

Does no one not even Mike know the answer to this one?

Is the forum dead or dying as many posts have not had life for years?  I thought this was where QI U users asked questions and discussed issues?

It’s active.  Not sure what question you are asking.  aAI or profiles??  Have you tried Qimage?  Suggest you do, then have a better basis to ask a quest.

I'm not aware of any Canon photo inkjet printers that are not supported but if you want to know, download the demo and give it a try.  We can't test every model printer both current and historical but we do provide the demo so you can answer the question yourself.  I gave it the weekend to see if anyone with a Pro-9000 responded and had tested it but if you were in that much of a rush, the demo could have answered your question in just a few minutes.

As for the forum, when you click on the Qimage Ultimate subforum, there are 11 topics listed and the oldest is less than one month old.  All forums have stickies at the top that tend to be quite old because they are for reference.  And all forums have infrequently used subforums that are mostly old topics that are kept for reference.  That's just the nature of online forums.

Mike, I already have QIMage v2022.119 and the AI feature cannot be tested as I cannot install a DEMO version over my current version.  I am asking as I am considering another year of support/upgrades or even a lifetime licence (missed the discount so might have to wait for Black Friday or next promotion).

Oddly though I have had QI installed for a number of years I have not yet printed through it.  The idea of the AI setting up the printer sounds a real time and brain saver for me with many other competing time constraints.

Why can't you install the demo?  Install it to test it and when you are done, reinstall your existing (registered) 2022.119 when you are done.

Unless maybe you didn't keep the 2022.119 install file?

Mike, thanks.  Yes I have retained the 2022.119 version as I had my fingers burned a few years back!   I will go ahead and try the demo, especially as the photo club season starts early September and printing starts with a fury.

Unfortunately my Canon Imageprograf 1000 died after less than 2 years due to a design fault and Canon would not do anything about it so am running on older (and only A3+) Canon Pixma Pro 9000 mk ii which paper manufacturers have stopped supplying ICC profiles for newer papers and in some cases remove dthem for older papers!

Will soon get a new A2 printer but perhaps not a Canon.  Shame we have little competition nowdays for printers with (at the amateur end) only Canon and Epson.  Each ahve their drawbacks.
