Somewhere in my reading on the internet, I read that some printers don't work well w/ W10.
Since I'm seriously in the process of ordering the Pixma Pro 100, I thought I'd ask this question before I went ahead and ordered it. Does this printer work well/easily w/ W10? Thanks for any info as I'll be ordering it before the bundle and Visa card "extra" goes away 12-31-19.

Not to be rude, but do you really think Canon is going to sell a printer that won't work on Windows?
But, yes. Works fine on my Windows 10 Home 1903. Worked on earlier Windows too. Also works with my wife's Windows computer.
I recall that wireless hook up was tricky, but it worked after some fiddling.

I have had that printer for over 2 years and have had no problems with it working on Win 10.

I've had my Pro 100 for a year and updated my Windows 10 frequently. It works great with Windows. And the setup, wireless and all, was easy. Unlike my HP Deskjet printer, it doesn't complain when I leave it for months between printing. And print color is spot on.

Here is a 13x19 I just printed from the Pro 100 through Windows 10. Really a great printer. Have had it for a few years.

Just curious , did all the colors print exactly like you saw on your monitor ?. The same saturation , contrast , etc .

I have had the Pro 100 even longer and agree with above.

I have a Pixma Pro 100 that I have used for a couple of years. I have had no trouble whatsoever. It replaced an HP Pro B9180. I had to make custom profiles for it even with profiled monitors. I went through quite a bit of paper and ink making a trial and error profile with it. I haven't had to do anything with the Canon. Plus it doesn't eat ink through maintenance cycles. I couldn't be happier.

My Pro 100 produces my monitor colors well; but I'm sure it's because I calibrate my monitor regularly...

Just a plug here for calibrating profiling the monitor so any reference comparison between color print and screen is based on a standard setup.

I broke my first Pro-100 and bought a second. Spot on accuracy is good for perfectionists, engineers and scientists. Monitors glow and prints reflect. After awhile you may come to the conclusion that, when the goal is a wall hanger print, you develop for the print, not the monitor.
Maybe hanging prints is closer to art than technical exactness?

I have had my pixma pro 100 for a couple of years. When I downloaded the win 10 upgrade to latest upgrade it would not recognize the printer. I updated the driver to the latest version and had no further troublr.
