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.

Why does my G-4 Mac running Tiger not show web site PDF documents?

When on a web site wishing to link to a given PDF type document offered by that site (ex: a related Sales Sheet), when clicked on a new window opens but it is blank of any data--nor was the PDF otherwise auto-downloaded so as to appear generally on my computer's Desktop. I therefore am experiencing no access to any available PDF offered documents or info otherwise available and, unfortunately, am not savvy enough to rectify the matter myself.

Thank you Kappy and AnaMusic. I went through all the links you supplied, but nothing seems out of the ordinary except that my boot HD keeps filling up by itself.
When I took out the 100+ gb (from my 1 tb boot HD), I watched the Get Info page and as I worked the available space went linearly down from 100+gb to 10.34 gb (right now) in a matter of about 50 minutes, when I quit. I was using mostly Adobe Indesign, but Mail and Safari and maybe Excel were also open.
Something is really wrong. Anymore "use" and it will be full and then I won't have any use of it.
Yesterday when this problem started, available space went down to less than 100 MB and warnings began to show up.
See 3rd image below where the home folder "Norm" is now at 894 GB, but the total of all other folders only adds to about 87 GB.
What could cause that to happen?
Thanks

Why does the calendar on my iPhone 4 not show dots since the IOS 6 upgrade?

Since I upgraded the ios on my iPhone 4 to IOS 6 the dots on the monthly calendar are no longer there. Can anyone tell me how to get them back?

I have this exact same problem down to every detail. I've gotten to the point where I almost want to soft-reset my phone on a preventative level every day at lunch time because I have already been late receiving several urgent messages (work and personal) due to this issue. I had iOS 8 on my iPhone 5 before I upgrade to the 6 and didn't have this problem - perhaps it is hardware/firmware related?

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.

Probably because you did not tell the iPod to sync the calendar in iTunes.

I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
Next restart the printer and the Router.
I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.

Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7 240? When I print it before I drag it into the new file it prints out 6x6.

Why does an image size 6x6 240 print out 6.25x6.25 when I drag it into a new file 24x7 240 image size? If I print it before I drag it into the 24x7 240 file it prints 6x6.

What is the number 240 meant to indicate here – the resolution? If so please also give the unit.
And what are your printer and the print settings you use, could there be any scaling involved in the printing itself?

Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

I know you are not apple though I believe I still have apoint. As you can see the release date for these two iPod touches is differentby about a year. My iPod was sold as an apple iPod touch 8 GB third generation,and as I can see from this page and many others have experienced this. I wouldcomplain to apple though there seems to be no actual way to do this withouthaving to fork out for additional support, which is unacceptable also my iPodwas bought form a reliable UK retailer. It is not just the seller who names itas a 3rd generation I have also included a print screen of a trade in offerfrom a large phone shop site:

Why Does IT Take SOOOOO Long To Get New Shows And Podcast Updates!!!!!

Why Does IT Take SOOOOO Long To Get New Shows And Podcast Updates!!!!! It seems to me that it takes and unusually long time for TV shows to be uploaded to itunes and it takes FOREVER (VH1) to get Podcast updates. Also I notice that Vh1's Best Week Ever is a hit or miss deal. Some weeks it's on iTunes and some weeks it's not......why?
Paul

The iTunes store simply provides a link to the originating podcast server.
When the podcast owner puts a new episode up, it is available.
