p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Canon Professional Print and Layout v1.5 Installation error


Canon recently introduced PP&L v1.5. It is "Recommended" for the Pro-1000 printer which I use, and many other Canon printers.
I downloaded the Windows 10 version and tried to install it. The installation immediately fails and reports "Error code 0". I rebooted and tried again with the same result.

Has anyone successfully installed PP&L v1.5 for Windows 10 x64?
Did a search for Error code 0 but did not find anything. Anyone know what that error code means?

I am able to install it on a W10 x64 machine. It will start and then gives an error message that there is no compatible printer (I only have a Pro-100) and then it exits.

I got the same result on my Windows 11 laptop, it does the install, then reports no compatible printer, and exits. It seems that the installer does not always fail.

Yesterday I spent nearly two hours in an on-line remote control session with Canon support. The tech tried a bunch of stuff like installing in different folders and drives, using a Admin account, etc, etc, etc, but all he ever got was Error Code 0. He seemed to have no idea what would generate that error code.

To be clear, the installer starts and asks a series of questions about languages, accepting terms, folder to put the application, etc (accepted the defaults and tried variants) but when the last accept is clicked and it starts to install, it immediately fails with Error Code 0. Unfortunately the error code seems to be useless. It gives no indication of why the installer failed. At least Canon tech support has no idea what it means.

Part of the reason I am interested in getting PP&L to work is that I am contemplating purchase of the Pro-2600 to add to my Pro-1000. I don't want to make that purchase if PP&L does not work. Maybe I need to move to Epson. Any comments about whether Epson has a print layout manager similar to Canon PP&L.

I am using v1.3.8 on a windows 10 computer
it seems to run fine printing to my pro-2100 ( 24" )

maybe try the older version ( v1.3.8 ) ??

i might add after using epson for 25+ years ( desktop models and large format models 44" )
there is no way I would buy another epson

my pro 2100 model ( we are also running a RED RIP ) that we bought last year has been pretty much nuts on color from day 1
when I print "photos" from the windows 10 computer I bypass the RIP and go straight thru the canon PPL driver and it works great
never got straight out of the box results like this with any epson without lots of trial and error

good luck
