Tried Manual Settings on Canon IP

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

I use manual with no other effects active. I want to control the outcome
myself. That way, If it isn't quite right I know where to make adjustments.

wait...neither of effects are enabled by default. SO, if they ARE enabled,
then you enabled it somehow.
BTW... if you use canon photo paper, then if you use canon easy photo print
program, it sets all necesarry settings automatically for each type of
paper. SO, you edit your photo in photoshop, save, close it. Open Canon
photo print, print photo. Voila!!!

i think that manual settings apply only for colors, while effects are
different thing and they are applied anyway. It's similar like if you open
photo in, say photoshop, apply filter, save and then print withyour manual
set settings.
