Canon iR 3220 Print Colors Much Darker

[cfarris]

I am printing from a Mac to the Canon iR 3220 and the colors are MUCH darker and somewhat different than what I see on the screen. Copies come out fine, it's just the prints from the computer that are off. Any ideas?

Does your machine have a ImagePASS?

If so has it been calibrated?

No it does not have an imagepass

No it does not have an imagepass

Are you using a Postscript or PCL driver?

Either way look to update the driver from Canon's site www.canonusa.com.

PCL DRIVER
Selecting an objective in the [Quality] sheet automatically sets the color or grayscale settings to suit the document that is to be printed. You can also set the desired color or grayscale settings manually.
Color and Grayscale Settings
In the [Quality] sheet, selecting either [Color] or [Black and White] from [Color Mode] sets the desired color or grayscale settings for printing documents.
To make the detailed color or grayscale settings, you can use the [Color Settings] or [Grayscale Settings] dialog box, containing the [Color Adjustment] or [Grayscale Adjustment], and [Matching] sheets.
The [Color Adjustment] or [Grayscale Adjustment] sheet enables you to specify the color intensity (for color printers), brightness, and contrast settings affecting a printed document. Use the grid on the right part of the sheet to make an adjustment. A default original image and an adjusted preview image are displayed on the left part of the sheet. Use them to check the result of the adjustment.
The [Matching] sheet enables you to specify the method of color matching or monitor profile when printing color documents.
