Any Opinions onCanon imagePROGRAF PRO-310 Professional 13" W

As far as I can tell the Mac printer driver from Canon may not be operating completely correctly when printing out of Lightroom Classic or PhotoShop; however, I have been printing with the Canon Professional Print and Layout application and it seems to be fine.  

I can't speak to longevity, but I can say that I'm satisfied with the Pro-310 at this time.  The inks are expensive in the small cartridges but given the small volume of printing that I do the small cartridges may be an advantage (the 200 ml cartridges on the professional Epson 17" would be lifetime cartridges for me).

Thanks for the feedback, Mark. How you used it to print text and how does it do with that? I've  had an Epson for many years now and run OS Ventura 13.7.5 on my iMac
Is the setup easy? What kind of problem are you having printing from LRC or PS? I'm not familiar with the Canon Professional Print and Layout app. Would i have to download that online? I'm not a computer genius.
Thanks
