Canon Selphy ES 1 printing problem.

I am trying to print from my MacBook Pro (2.16 GHz Intel core 2 Duo, Memory 3GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM) to a Canon SELPHY ES 1 using CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.7 driver and connected using a USB cable. The printer and Mac recognise each other but when I print the printer job monitor says that it is Printing page 1, 100% but nothing is happening. The printer works fine when connected directly to a camera. Anyone have an idea what I can do to solve this?

Was this a printer which you had added before upgrading to Lion? If so, disconnect the printer, remove the printer from System > Add Printers, and re-add the printer.

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

Canon Selphy ES1 Postcard Printer

Hi,
Can someone please help me.
I have the new iMac 21.5" with Mountain Lion.
I cannot print using my Canon Selphy ES1 Postcard Printer.
If anyone has a solution on how to fix this I would really appreciate it.
Thankyou

I have the same printer..
Visit the following link http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/MacOSX.php
Download the Gutenprint 5.2.10 is released! version.
Then follow the following instructions:
Certain models of dyesub printers need a special manual configuration in order to select a custom "backend" driver in Gutenprint 5.2.10 and above. The specific models include:
Canon (SELPHY ES, CP series)
Kodak (Professional 1400, 805/6800/6850/605 Photo Printer)
Shinko/Sinfonia (CHC-S2145)
Sony (UP-DR150, UP-DR200)
DNP (DS40, DS80, DS-RX1)
Citizen (CX, CX-W, CY)
Mitsubishi (CP-D70DW, CP-D707DW, CP-K60DW-S)
We do not presently have an automatic way of forcing Gutenprint to use the correct backend. If you are using one of these printers and use the standard backend, it will add successfully, but will fail to print. You will need to add a new printer and explicitly specify the backend by doing the following:
If necessary, install the installer package for Gutenprint 5.2.10 or above.
Make sure your dyesub printer is connected via USB, turned on, and ready to print.
Under the Apple menu, go to System Preferences, then click the Printers & Scanners icon (for OS X 10.5, the Print & Fax icon).
Examine the printer list (on the left-hand side of the dialog) to see if your dyesub printer has already been added. If so, remove the print queue by clicking the - (minus) button below the list.
Click the + (plus) button below the list.
In the new window that appears, look for your dyesub printer in the list of found printers. It will likely show two listings -- one with a Kind of "gutenprint52+usb", and one with a Kind of "USB". (You may need to wait a few seconds for all the listings to appear; on OS 10.5, it may take several minutes, and your system may appear to be frozen.)
Select the printer with the Kind showing "gutenprint52+usb".
Verify that the Use pop-up menu at the bottom of the windows shows the name of the printer, followed by a string similar to "CUPS+Gutenprint v5.2.10".
Click the Add button.
Close the System Preferences dialog.
My ES 1Printer now works from my MAC Book Pro 17 ins running os X 10.9.5. Great for postcards etc...

Canon 860 Series (Pixma) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips

After spending several hours sorting out Canon Pixma OSX problems here are my thoughts:
Canon 860 Series (Pixma 868) Printer Problems with OSX 10.8 (Mountain Lion) – links to Canon Support Site with Drivers and Software with install tips
Problem:
- New imac and MacBook Pro 2012 (OSX 10.8.2) had a problem using Canon Pixma 868 printer on network and would not scan or print using Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print), which has advanced scanning and photo printing functions.
- When I connected the canon printer to my imac, OSX 10.8.2 automatically downloaded and installed drivers for Canon 860 series printer. I could then add the new printer (select ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”) and printer would work while connected via USB but could not get to print or scan over network wifi.
- The original Canon 860 Series CD does not work with 10.8 and the manual / online instructions did not make sense (as based on CD install).
Solution:
1) Install Canon Printer Drivers and Software (from official Canon site)
Go to canon support site, review FAQ, then download and install following Pixma 860 Series software & drivers for OSX 10.8 (links see below). The version I downloaded is in brackets but check for updated version. Full instructions are below.
Canon 860 Series Drivers & Software for OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion:
The base software and drivers needed for using Canon 860 Series on Mac OS X 10.8 (USB) are
1 Printer Driver
(Canon MX860 series CUPS Printer Driver Ver. 10.67.1.0 (03-Aug-2012))
2 Scanner Driver
(Canon MX860 series Scanner Driver Ver. 14.11.4a (03-Aug-2012))
3 Network Tool
(Canon IJ Network Tool Ver. 4.1.0 for Intel Mac (27-Dec-2012)
Canon Software for using advanced printing and scanning functions (while connected to network)
4 Solution Menu
(Canon Solution Menu Ver. 1.4.1 (27-Jul-2012 ))
5 MP Navigator EX
(Canon MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 (02-Auf-2012))
6 Easy-PhotoPrint EX
(Canon Easy-PhotoPrint EX Ver. 4.1.6 (21-Jan-2013 ))
Canon Support (HK) – check your local site
http://www.canon.com.hk/en/download/main/index.do
Select Product and drivers from support site eg http://support-hk.canon-asia.com/
1. Choose a product category
Multifunctional Printers
2. Choose a product series

3. Choose a product model
Pixma MX868
4. Choose type of document
Downloads or FAQ
If you have problems installing the software under 10.8, see the FAQ on Canon site. You will need to allow software installs from “unidentified developers by using “Control” Key or by changing your system preferences)
2) Check Canon Printer and Software Working while connected via USB
Once you have downloaded and installed drivers and software and restarted computer, check that the printer and Canon Pixma software (Pixma MP Navigator 2.1 & Photo Print) are working via USB. Open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App) and make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it shows the correct SSID Wifi settings (under the Canon IJ Network Tool App ‘Setup menu’). This is normally done as part of the automatic install but worth double checking
3) Add new network printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”).
After you have checked USB printing turn off printer, unplug the USB cable and shutdown the Canon IJ Network Tool App.
Then turn the printer back on and wait 30s. Then add a new printer using ‘apple menu’ / ‘system preferences’ / ‘print and scan’ / “+”). Once you select “+” (add new printer), wait 10-30s for the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer to appear in the new window eg Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) (Kind: “Canon IJ Network”)
DO NOT ADD THE MX 860 SERIES BONJOUR SCANNER (the Bonjour Scanner is the built-in software, is not needed and often appears first on the add printer list). The Canon scanner can be accessed used through the MP Nav EX Ver. 2.1.3 software (which has much better functions)
You will now have two Printer Canon MX860 (USB) and Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network). Set the Canon MX860 (Wifi / Network) as default and test print and scan
If the Wifi Networked Canon MX 860 Series printer does not appear, check the printer and make sure that the printer can see the wifi network. On the printer select Menu / Settings / Device Settings / Lan Settings / WLAN Setting List. It should say WLAN Active, identify the SSID and have an IP address
If the printer can not see the Wifi Network, plug the USB cable back in, then open the Canon IJ Network Tool App (Applications / Canon Utilities /IJ Network Tool / Canon IJ Network Tool App). Make sure you can see the Canon MX 860 series (xx.xx.xx.xx.xx.xx) and that it has your SSID settings (under setup), if it has this info, restart the computer and the printer and try again

Hi, thaks for response, meant to post as a discussion (not question), wanted to save others time if they get the same problem

Canon Pixma Pro-10 printing problem

Hello,
I had my printer for little bit over a year, with no problems, until recently.
I am still using the same paper, which is Ilford Gold Mono, but it happened on several other papers as well.
Basically, it seems that carriage grabs the edge of paper and moves it a bit, which creates the effect- see example attached.
I called the Canon service, but since printer is out of 1 year warranty now, they kicked me back to local repair shop.
I am still hoping that I myself can do something to fix this.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Nobody, hah?
Thanks anyway.

HT204135 why does my Canon Selphy cp 800 printer not show up in printer drivers?

Hi
I have an selphy cp 800. I tried to instal the Lion driver But no luck. i Bought this printer before i upgraded, and I am a bit frustrated that Apple or Canon doesent care.
Lion has been out for a year soon, and there is stil no update for lion os with a cp-800 printer driver?
Hope some one can help me My os is now 10.7.04
regards
Steven

Interesting Matt. So no version of the Gutenprint CP800 driver ever worked?
That is my current, best understanding. There is a relatively new maintiner for the Canon code at Gutenprint. He has done a lot of work over the past year or so. One of the things I think he discovered is that there were certain Selphy printers that need an "intelligent spooler". That is, they won't work with a standard USB backend. I think the Gutenprint driver tried to trick CUPS--and may have had some success--by sending image data in one packet and control data in another. It was something like that.
It would be fairly easy to see if they work by loading the 5.1.3 or just about any version prior to about 5.2.7 and test the printer. All the packages are still on the server at http://sourceforge.net/projects/gimp-print/files/. That exercise may not be the best idea for the original poster at this point as there is a Canon supported driver available.
I'm reasonably sure that there was no Canon CP800 driver included with Leopard
I just went back and loaded the Canon drivers in a Leopard installation from the Leopard install disk. The Selphy drivers go up to CP-790. There is no CP-800 that came with Leopard.

Canon Pixma MP500 wireless printing problem

I've got this USB printer connected to an Airport Extreme base station. Wireless printing used to work fine, but doesn't anymore. I ensured that printer sharing is set in the Airport admin utility. Yesterday I spent about 30 minutes with a guy from AppleCare trying to troubleshoot this issue to no avail. Printing works fine if I plug the USB cable into the Powerbook. I'm using Canon-supplied drivers. But that was also the case when wireless printing used to work. So this problem is a bit strange and frustrating.
My guess is that some security update or change in the OS is causing the problem. The Apple guy agreed, though he had no idea as to what the specific issue might be. Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Rich
PowerBook G4 15 1.67GHz Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hello Rich, Phil and Dave,
I'll see if I can offer some advice to you all...
Rich,
Okay, first of all I want to check what you see in the Printer Browser > Default Browser. Under the heading Printer Name should be Canon MP500 and under the heading Connection should be Bonjour. If you select the printer, the Name, Location and Print Using should be automatically populated (Print Using should show Canon IJ Printer). Do you get this?
If you do and can add the printer, then what happens when you attempt to print something?
Phil,
The -9672 is usually caused by the printer reporting it is a different model to the selected driver. Picking a different printer from the list of Canon's doesn't always work, as there is often control information in the driver comms that are specific for a model (otherwise you could have one driver for every printer). You should try running the Repair Permissions option in Disk Utility. Updates sometimes set some values back to system defaults, which can impact the ability of Mac to correctly identify a peripheral such as a printer.
Dave the drummer,
Do you notice the Airport signal strength when the printing fails? I have seen some printing fail like you describe when the signal drops too low. Is your wife's iBook located closer to the Airport than your PBG4?
Also, I would try running the Repair Permissions option in Disk Utility.
Regards,
Paul

Canon iRC 3580 Network Printer Problem

Hello,
I am using a Canon iRC 3580 printer connected to a network. With Snow Leoparda I was abble to print without any difficulties (even at the beginning was a pain to setup the printer...) I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion and now nothing works. I have read accros a few websites there might be a bug or some problem with CUPS or the drivers maybe?
Any suggestions or help, please?
For any additional information, I have no backup (my fault...).
Thanks a lot!

I have asked them those things, I'll let you know when I get a response.
Meanwhile I think we connect through a server, don't know which kind and if there is any difference. People using Windows machines have to authenticate at the printer to print, meanwhile Mac users print directly.
When you type the printer URL you get the following (I have hiden the ipp numbers):

Canon PIXMA MG6320 driver - Print problem

Canon PIXMA MG6320 driver - New printer, Windows XP Pro and Excel 2000 - printing 4 into 1 only prints the first page and preview print prints all of the pages while displaying the preview. Tried it with administrative rights and had the same problems.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks
Tried reinstalling driver from the Canon website, the problem remains.

Hi Rhinomopolis,
The actual page that is printed should appear just like the print preview. If there is a mismatch between the print preview and the final output, it could be related to a setting on the printer or some other type of issue (out of ink, for example). If the page does not appear properly in the print preview, review the settings in your printing application and try again.

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!

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 ES1

I am trying to print from my iMac to a Canon SELPHY ES 1 using Gutenprint v5.2.3 driver and connected using a USB cable. The printer and Mac recognise each other but it doesn´t work.

Try using this driver making sure you use the ES3 version (not Gutenprint version) worked for me running iMac 20 inch 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
http://canoncanada.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/37826/~/canon-selphy-es- series-printer-driver-6.0-for-mac-os-x-10.7
Need to download then install.
Good luck!

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.

Problem printing from Canon Selphy photo printer (CP800)

I have a Canon Selphy CP800 which was working perfectly with my Mac up until i upgraded the latter to Yosemite 10.10.2. Checked the printer settings and it doesn't offer a "postcard size" option under the Paper Size tab anymore.
Have uninstalled and installed the driver from Canon Support but still doesn't work. Anyone else experienced this before? How did you get this resolved?
