Very odd print issue
Lashek:
While I haven't solved the issue for Gimp, I think I found the fix for Photoshop CS6 (so far).
I believe there were some issues with the ICC profiles (could be wrong, but I really don't know for sure) and when I deleted the printer driver and package, it left the original ICC profiles but did not reinstall them when I performed a network printer add.
I reinstalled the MP and XPS drivers, and did a test print. Instead of blurriness, it seems with every pass, just the black prints off by 1-2 pixels in each direction that the print head moves.
Switching it over to "Photoshop Manages Colors" and choosing the "Canon MG5500 series MP2" profile (since it was the MP driver), it appears to print fine now. Any other profile and it doesn't work right.
Very odd as I was able to just click print previously and it would work fine with Printer managing colors.

well i'm glad that you have made progress. Odd that you suddenly had this problem. I don't use PhotoShop so it was irritating me trying to help you because i have no idea why it would change. I've had a few odd problems with Win 8/8.1 myself. Overall compatibility is good but there are some problems.
anyway, happy to hear that you are able to print again. Hopefully you get it back to the way it was before.
