Resolved Color Correction issue with MAC OS X and Canon pro 9000

Problem: Unable to set the Color Correction option to NONE. I have looked all over the net and it seems that there are lots of people with this problem. After months and months of battling with this issue I have finally come up with the answer. Its all down to the fact that MAC OS X comes with a pre installed driver for the Canon Pixma Pro 9000. To cut a long story short this driver needs to be deleted from your system files before you update your driver, which you need to download from the canon website. I downloaded version 4.8.6. The new driver does not seem to work with the default driver still on the comp. After following directions below you should finally be able to get your Color Correction option on your driver working.

First things first... go to the following location and delete the canon pro 9000 driver.

Location: /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources
File Name: CanonIJPro900series.ppd.gz

(make a backup of this file if you wish )

Once you have deleted the driver you need to restart your mac.

After rebooting install the new Canon Pro 9000 driver. I suggest installing version 4.8.6(this one worked for me)

Reboot Mac again just for good measure then do a test print and you should now be able to set COLOR CORRECTION to NONE.

I know there are a lot of people out there having the same problem so if you are reading this please pass the solution on to others.

Mac OS X (10.5.5)
