ImagePress Server Q1

[manuelubau]

I just got an Used Server Q1... I was able to connect it to the machine and my computer and the computer detects the ImagrePress C1... Everything seems normal when I install the copier and the driver that I downloaded from Canon. But when I print a test page nothing happens... I was able to print the Server's Configuration Page from copier... but I am still not able to print from Computer... It seems like the computer sends the print to the Server but the server doesn't transmit the page to the Copier... I need help. Do you think that the driver is wrong? do I need to install something special for the Server Q1? I have windows 7 64bit.

Thanks a lot!

I got it to print... What I did was that I reinstalled the printer using the Server's Q1 driver instead of the ImagePress C1's Driver... But now the quality is bad... is that the correct the driver?

Re: ImagePress Server Q1

Teckat's suggestion is good as it would open a few features within that Q1 hardware, but i assume charges would be applicable

Else you could tried this link without the upgrade but might not be 100% suitable for your printing colour needs

The thing is that I am in Nicaragua... there is no canon support here for this kind of equipment... and if there was it would be way too expensive... is there a way I could do the upgrade myself?

As far as the poor quality goes you should Calibrate the server....

File Name:Q1v1.1_PS_Vista_Print.exe

imagePRESS Server v1.1 Postscript Printer Driver v1.1 for Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS (Non-WHQL Certified). This driver adds support for Windows Vista 32-bit OS and Windows Vista 64-bit OS.

That is the description of the file that I am using.... I downloaded it from the canon web page.... it seems to work fine... but I will try to upgrade it to Q2... today I printed some pictures for a customer and it was fine since I tried doing the calibration as someone said above...
