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 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

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 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.

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 selphy CP510 only prints the left side of the page

can anyone help me figure out the problem? It printed fine last time I used it. Today I plugged it in and only the left side of hte page prints. I inserted a new print cartridge and same problem.

LR 1.3.1 and Canon Selphy ES1

Vista Home Premium.
RAW format pictures from Nikon D80 are properly shown in correct colour rendition on monitor. Printing 'em with above mentioned printer is a pain.
Pictures are generally darkened, over-saturated. Any hint?
Thanks
Dan

I strongly agree with you, but I tried Qimage (costs nothing to try) with Premium ICC profiles for Epson Stylus Photo R800 (by Epson, cost nothing to download and install).
With Qimage and my printer ICC as above)/laptop monitor (ICC profile by Acer) I scored 95% faithful prints on Premium Glossy Photo Paper
and Premium Photo paper Semi-gloss. Matte papers with B&W will be tested furtherly.
Of course ICC profiles can furtherly be optimimized, but must be said that 5% unfaithfullness deals exclusively with sunset scenarios, where yellow->orange->red transitions are overly saturated towards the red/light magenta. Know this it is easily corrected.
LR and Qimage both show exactly same picture (colors etc) which is Adobe 1998 based, use same printer's ICM profile and other settings, but they output well (Qimage) and weird (LR). This tells something ....

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.

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'?

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?

HT4356 How to use Canon Selphy Photo Printer (CP900) to print from iPad 3?

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

Aperture and Printing with a Canon Selphy dye-sub

Hi everybody,
I want to use my Canon Selphy CP510 (dye-sub) printer for prointing from Aperture. I was used from Photoshop to disable color management in the program, but make use of the color management in the printer driver. The printer driver came without any ICC-profile, but by this way, prints became excellent.
In Aperture the only way seems to be to set (in the Printing Windows) Color Management to "System Managed". By this way, color become dark, dull, and there is also a light color cast.
I found in the web a ICC-profile from am CP330, but nothing changed, when I selected this profile for printing.
Do you have experience with this printer (or any Canon Selphy printers)?
Someone told me to let make a color ICC for this printer by professionals (send a print of a certain color traget to a studio with a special scanner in order to produce a color profile)
regards,
Sandro

I would suggest running the ColorSync Utility in Applications/Utilities. Click the Devices toolbar button and click on your printer in the Printers section of the list. That will display what profile the OS is using for the printer. Even if the printer did not come with a profile, the OS will assign a generic profile to it.
Try selecting that profile as the printer profile to use in the Aperture print dialog. I think that might be similar to what you were doing in Photoshop.

Can I download photos from my macbook to a Canon Selphy CP760 printer

I have a Canon Selphy CP760 - a nice compact printer. All of my photos are on my MacBook - none on a card from a camera. Can I download photos from my Mac to the little printer? I have tried using a thumb drive/flash drive, but the printer says it is an unsupported USB devise. P.S. I am technically challenged!

That makes more sense...
You can print photos directly from iPhoto to your computer.

Canon Selphy CP730 won't print anymore

After installing the latest iPhoto (7.0.2) my Canon Selphy CP730 Compact Photo Printer won't print photo's from iPhoto anymore. The light on the printer blinks for a second, goes red and then back to green, while an icon in the Dock shows the CP730 with a red exclamation mark.
The strange thing is that I can print from all my other applications to this device. And with the previous iPhoto there where no problems either. I already reinstalled the drivers for the CP730, without succes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Michel

Michel:
Try deleting the various printing pref files. One would be located in the User/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder. It would look something like this: com.apple.print.Cache.0016cb3791b6.plist (number will be different). Also com.apple.print.PrintingPrefs.plist and any obvious Canon prefs for the printer. There will be a lot of other Canon prefs but look of any that are obviously linked to the printer. You may not fine any, however.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
