Hello,
The Canon Pro 9000 is already supported in gutenprint (to some degree).
What is your actual problem? What are "printer units"?

I just remember that I had a utility for cleaning, head alignment and other printer settings.

Any suggestions how to make colors come out better. This is a photo printer and prints and colors are way off. Thanks for the help

Hi, you have to setup a printer color profile. There are a lot of 
professional shops which offers the service. You get color targets from 
them, you print these without any color correction and send the targets 
in. They do the profile for you and you install it in your system. 
Afterwards use the profile on the printer. In KDE or Gnome there are 
built in color correction managers, which i would recommend. Afterwards 
Colors are perfect. You need one profile on every different paper and 
printer. Always use the same printer driver settings as you printed the 
targets. I have gone through this process the last 2 years, because i 
changed my workflow completely to darktable and gimp. I print on the 
Epson SC-P800, with Refill ink. Perfect Results.
If you are in Germany i could recommend farbenwerk.de

Hi Fst,
Canon printers in general do not have any colour calibration.
Only thing I can suggest is to play with the various densities to
change the colors for your printer, and save those settings.
If you want to do it properly, you will need to be able to compile
gutenprint, perform lots of tests, and adjust the color matrices for
hue, saturation and lightness. This may differ depending on media type
and on the resolution mode used.

Best regards,
Gernot Hassenpflug

Thanks for the info. I’m not that tech savvy to know where the settings are.

Please try the "Generic PCL Color Laser" in Gutenprint 5.2.15.
