Canon selphy cp900 wireless print problem

I recently bought a canon selphy cp900, am running a mac os moutain lion 10.8.2. Am unable to do wireless priting via access point. Is there a solution to this problem?

I just purchased the Selphy CP900 and had the same problem. The fix was so simple. Plug your mac into Selphy via USB. Go into System Preferences -- Print & Scan. Highlight the CP900 and "ADD" / "+" the Selphy.
Disconnect the USB from the Selphy.
Restart the Selphy Photo Print Software and it should now light up green that all is connected.
I thought the problem was with the network connection, but my mac just couldn't find the Selphy. (duh)
Anyone have an answer for how to print from iPhoto to Selphy? The only thing I can figure out to do is to drag/drop my pic from iPhoto to my Desktop. (I added Desktop folder to the list of Folders on the Selphy Software App.)
I am running 10.7.5

How do I connect a Canon Selphy CP900 using the USB port on Time Capsule

I am running a MacBook Pro with Mountain Lion (10.8.5) and have installed the CP 900 driver (6.2) supplied by Canon from their website. I have a Time Capsule set up as a stand alone internal network at my home and use it as a network attched hard drive directly - not via Time Machine. I can "see" the printer when I connect but cannot print to it. I open a photo in preview and select the printer and print.
I get a
Cannin Selphy CP Generic
connection method not supported message - 9786
The printer does show up in my Print and Scan control panel in System Preferences
I also cannot reach it to check suplies
At the print it dsiplays the printer to computer connection via USB
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Asa

Hi Asa,
I experienced the same error -9786 although I'm not using the time capsule, but only through the wifi.
I did following and resolved the problem.
1. I re-installed the driver software.
2. I re-configured the printer settings. (System Preferences - Printers and Scanners - "+" button)
3. I didn't add the selphy manually, but just I just input "CP" in the searchbox in "Add" dialog, and clicked "OK" button then the printer is set automatically.
4. I tried pringing a photo from iPhoto and could print correctly.
it looks like the key action is #2 and #3 above, so why don't you give a try?

Canon Selphy CP900 software on my Macbook Pro running OS X 10.8.2?

I've installed the driver provided by Canon on their website for Mountain Lion, but even when I insert the disk, I cannot seem to install the software required for the printer to be used properly. It's also supposed to be wireless, but I can only seem to get the printer to be recognized when it is plugged in via USB.
Can anyone give me more detailed instructions on how to install the necessary software?
Thanks very much.

Thank you PAHU, your help is very much appreciated! After much tinkering I was ready to surrender and return this printer. What gives me hope is the fact that your CP900 is working for you. Here is the requested info, I hope it is useful:

Canon Selphy CP900 error: "Printer open failed.:-9781"

Help.
I've read through every single support thread I can find regarding print issues with the CP900 wireless printer. I've installed the driver, connected to my access point and follow all instructions in my manual and still cannot get a photo to print from iPhoto --- what's up.
Additional info: at first I was getting an error message that the print size was not supported by my printer, but I seemed to have worked through that issue and now I'm getting the error message posted above. I'm SUPER frustrated! Any ideas?

Update.
I had read others talk about uninstalling and reinstalling the CP900 driver. I did this, with a reboot and it worked. Problem solved. weird!

How to use Canon Selphy Photo Printer (CP900) to print from iPad 3? I would like to print the photos in my ipad on my Canon Selphy Photo Printer (CP900) which has wifi...

hi
ideally if you want to print from the ipad you should have an airprint enabled printer:

however, there are workarounds, you can download a decent third party app to print such as print n share, printcentral or printdirect

My Canon selphy CP800 is not support by OS X Lion. Now what?

I recently upgraded to Lion. I have a Canon Selphy CP800 photo printer, and I am unable to print photos. Canon does not have a driver for this. Canon Support worked with me to try and get around this stumbling block to no avail. Does anyone out there have a solution?

After downloading this driver
file:///Users/winfordb/Downloads/SELPHY%20CP%20series%20Printer%20driver_6.2.0.1 .pkg I tried installing it and got the message "cannot install this driver it is not compatible with your os" I called canon suport and received the following instructions. " Control click on the downloaded package and then follow the instructions. I have a macbook pro running mavericks. IT WORKED! Don't connect the usb cable to your printer and computer until after the driver has installed. If you have the printer working via wi fi then this installation may show as CP900-2
FWIW.

How to get my selphy cp900 printer to work running 10.9.1

I am trying to install my printer SELPHY CP900 to my mac running 10.9.1 system
can anyone help me?

Download the driver from Canon (it's for a Selphy 900):http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/compact_p hoto_printers/selphy_cp900#DriversAndSoftware
Thanks to kt3806st, my Selphy CP760 is now working perfectly:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/24537553#24537553
I made only one change to the suggestion in the link which was I downloaded CP900 driver and installed that one instead of the CP800 driver. Just follow all of the steps from kt380st (it was like 3 steps that took no more than 5 mins). The driver version is 6.3.0.2 once installed. Sounds like you may need to remove the printer: System Preferences->Printers & Scanners->Select CP900 and click in the - button. The follow the directions in the discussion link.

Problems with iPhoto 6 and Canon SELPHY CP720

Just got the CP720 and tried printing from iPhoto. All the pictures come out too dark - noticeably darker than on my Apple display. This makes iPhoto editing worthless, since what you see is not what prints !!! Spent two days researching Colorsync and ICC profiles documentation, but can't figure out what the problem is. Canon states no guarantee that their printers work with 10.4.x. A query to their customer service produced no solution.
I've seen a couple references to this same iPhoto compatibility problem on other Canon printers. If you are printing iPhoto to Canon, compare your photos and see if you may be experiencing this as well.
Anyone figure this out yet?
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8) Canon SELPHY CP720 Printer

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Canon Selphy CP720 Network Problems

I just dowloaded the new CP720 driver for Leopard from Canon. When I tried to add the printer via bonjour (it is connected to my PC), I can select the printer but the driver doesn't come up.. it asks me to select from the list (it is not in the list)... or choose "other". In the other menu, I go to \library\printers\selphycp but none of the items in any of the directories seem to be what i need. If I connect directly, it finds the printer and driver with no problem. Has anyone gotten this to work? I cant even tell what the driver file should look like, though most are grey in the list anyway.
Any help would be appreciated. I thought of connecting to my time capsule but i don't want to waste my time just to have the same thing happen.

Hello Mr Kay,
From reading your posting I am not sure of your setup. If you have the Selphy connected via USB to the Windows computer, and wanted to connect to this share from your Mac, then you would need to use a Gutenprint driver rather than the Canon driver. Looking at the supported printer list for v5.2.0rc1, the ES20 is listed as a supported model, so you will need this version if the above is your setup.
Once the driver is installed on the Mac, you can open System Preferences > Print & Fax and select to Add a printer queue. Select Windows and browse for the share on the PC. After selecting the share name, then open the Print Using menu and browse for the 'Canon Selphy ES20 - Gutenprint + CUPS v5.2.0'.
If the printer is not connected to the Windows computer, then please describe your current setup - or the type of setup you would like to have.
Regards,
PaHu

I need a v.10.5 driver to run a Canon SELPHY and my Mac is v.10.9.4. How do I make this work?

I have a Canon SELPHY printer that requires a MacOSX v 10.5 driver. I cannot get it to operate with my Mac. What do I do?

This page has a CP760 driver for OS X 10.7. Alternatively you could use the Gutenprint drivers from here. Be sure to read the special note(s) for use of the Gutenprint drivers with dye sub printers.

Canon Selphy stopped working...

Hi. My Canon Selphy 510 photo printer stopped working with my macbook. It worked before, but now stopped. I was able to connect it to my g4 tower and get it to print from there (so we know it's not a hardware or cable issue), I was also able to print directly from my camera. I also have another printer on the network that is working 100% with this mac.
On the macbook, I uninstalled, then reinstalled the canon drivers. reboot, etc. no dice.
Here's the problem:
When you print, it fails. And the printer queue status goes back to Stopped. The normally lit green light blinks red just once.
At the end of this post is a clip from the error log (I set cups to debug loglevel for this). Notice how it thinks that it's out of paper and or ink, but it's not! I even tried to print without the paper in, to force it into a REAL no-paper-state, and this didn't help.
Let me add, the Canon Printmonitor application always just says Ready, and doesn't indicate any error state.
Do you guys have any ideas? Could there have been a software update I installed between now and when the printer worked that broke something? Thanks.

MacBook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Hi there,
We have a Selphy 810 and I was going to test this on an Intel Mini, as I'm concerned it may be an issue with the PPC drivers on the Intel Mac, but unfortunately the power supply for the printer is missing so I cannot check this for you just yet. I'll keep on the hunt and hopefully have a reply soon.
In the meantime, what application are you trying to print from? If its a Universal app, then you could try setting the app to open using Rosetta. This would help to identify if its an Intel issue. Also, have you tried setting the Page Setup > Format for to the Selphy rather than 'Any Printer'?

Canon Selphy Printers (ES2/ES3/ES30/ES40)

Has anyone had success printing to a Canon Selphy printer with 10.6? I have an ES2. I tried resetting the print system and using the Gutenprint driver but when I try to print from iPhoto, the printer driver hangs endlessly at "Print page 1 - 100%" but nothing ever happens on the Selphy. I tried also using the older ES2 driver (not Gutenprint) and this does not work either.
Anyone have any suggestions? Right now I am booting into VMWare and printing from a Windows virtual machine. Not the best use of time!
I saw someone else got a Selphy printer to work but I am not sure how. Sounds like they were using Gutenprint. Hm.

I've a Selphy ES20 - and now it prints.
The Gutenprint driver won't work - neither Gutenprint 5.2.3 nor 5.2.4.
I've made it nearly like zenobiaflex:
(Due to I don't now what the best way is, I write down my steps)
1.) Installed Gutenprint 5.2.4 = don't print
2.) Installed the Canon ES20 printer driver 2.1 from Canon Website (although it's not for OS X 10.6)
3.) Deinstalled Gutenprint with "gutenprint-uninstaller-1.2.6.dmg" (see http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php)
4.) Reboot the Mac
5.) After reboot, the Mac finds the Selphy by himself and can print (under iPhoto, Photoshop Elements and so on)
After all: I hople like zenobiaflex that Apple or the Gutenprint-Project recognize that the driver is completely useless (more tests before approval?).
