If you tweaked any settings that got carried over to 5.2.7 e.g. black density adjustments etc. in the CUPS printer settings, that could be a possibility. Replacing the PPD file will reset to the defaults (modify printer on the web page). If this doesn't do the trick, you could try increasing the black density, but this would imply the printer has bad defaults, in which case the upstream mailing list is the best place to ask for how to correct that. > > If this does not solve your problem, your best bet is to ask the > > upstream developers on the gimp-print-devel mailing list: > > http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/p_Mailing_Lists.php > > This was a newly-added printer model, and it may be the case that it > > requires further tuning. 5.2.7 added support for more Canon features, > > so it's possible this was addressed. > > Thanks for the advice anyway, I will try to ask at that address you sent.
