Hi,

I just purchased a Spyder3 Print SR for use with a couple of printers. I'm having trouble with my A4 photo printer, a Canon MG6150, in the printer driver settings as I can't find a setting to 'disable colour management' to print out the test patches, etc. I'm running Mac OSX 10.7 (Lion) with all the latest updates and the latest Canon drivers.

There seem to be two colour management options 'Colorsync' which appears to apply icc profiles, and Canon Color Management (I have no idea what this one does). There is not a checkbox I can see to turn either off, it's one of the other.

In a different set of settings, there is the Color Options tab. In here there are settings to alter colour balance, saturation, brightness, etc. and options like 'standard' or 'vivid photo'. I've left them all set to 0 and 'Standard'. I don't know if you select 'Canon Color Management in the other box whether the settings then come down to this other section and I can try different settings here.

What is the best driver setting for this please?

Best,
James
