Bad Prints out of LR Classic

Over the weekend, I upgraded my computer, moved all my files, reattached my catalogs, so on and so forth.

I had to do a couple prints and noticed that the prints coming out of LR now have this banding on them. The same image printed from Preview or PS DOES NOT have the banding. The first image is from LR, the second from PS - same image, same computer, same printer, everything in the same. Printer is connected via wire to the computer, so there's no wireless issue that is happening.

What could cause this and how do I fix it?

Try the easy stuff first: using only the printer’s controls clean the print head and print test sheets until the tests show the printer is working perfectly. That will eliminate the printer as the problem.

Already done with CPS - cleaned the heads and printed a test page. It's not the printer.

Check/install/reinstal​l latest printer driver. Then reboot.

Checked this morning and they are up-to-date. Canon's website is down anyway.

weird. I had a similar issue back around the time LR6 came out with an image that had a large smooth area with a soft gradient, similar to where you're seeing lines in your image. I was using a local print shop. Never did figure out what it was though.

I redownloaded the drivers as well as Print Studio Pro. Print Studio Pro prints it without the lines, but much darker, so back to the drawing board on calibration, which I detest.

LR still has the lines.

Can I ask what Computer and its software version, printer and what software version of LR Classic you are using?
Thank you.

Check your color management setting on your printer. Make sure color management is turned off so your particular software manages your color. If on, you may have a conflict. I use PSE.

Also you might try rolling back the latest LR update and see if that makes a difference

Late 2019 iMac, Catalina 10.15.6, Canon Pro-1000 and the most recent version of LR.

Not sure how to do that, but I'll tinker and see if I can find it.

Not sure if that can be done with the auto-subscription.

After 2 hours on the phone with Adobe yesterday, including him getting access into my computer, he escalated the issue to tech specialists. I had a question for CPS regarding the printer and mentioned the issue and they said it's a known issue within Adobe. He was shocked Adobe didn't tell me that early in the process. I believe it about 50% given that, from a software standpoint, I'm using the same things I did on the old iMac a week ago.

I would suggest making...

1. an output JPG from LR, and print the resultant JPG using a general program (not a LR job sent directly to printer)
   
2. a LR job sent to printer
   
3. a Print Studio Pro job sent to printer

#1 is a simple 'print a JPG', and should appear like #3 (what you already have done without stripes)
#1 printed without stripe would prove that your issue is in the driver used by LR to sent a job to your printer.

Done that. I can print from Print Studio, PS or simply Preview without the bands. Only LR has the bands. The print driver was updated Wednesday night or yesterday morning IIRC.

Merely double checking that we are on the same page...So you have tried to output a JPG file from LR to disk via File Export, then print that JPG with a general print viewer/printer software (what is provided via the O/S), and that JPG file exhibited stripes?

Yes, more than one jpeg. Anything printed outside of LR is fine. If printed within and directly through LR, the bands come back.
