Borderless Photo Prints on Canon CP-200 (Selphy)

I am trying to print photos on a Canon photo printer, a CP-200 (small 4x6" photo printer). The printer is recognized by Leopard, and it does print.. just not the way I want.

No matter what settings I adjust, I cannot get it to print borderless (which is the normal printing mode, if I hook a camera directly to the printer it prints borderless). I tried the custom printer settings, where it had an option for "Borderless: Yes/No" but it still didn't print borderless.


On my old G4 Mini, I installed the Canon drivers, and was able to print borderless. But, Canon doesn't make Intel drivers for this printer, so I cannot go that route. My only workaround so far is to print from Windows (in a Parallels VM), which is really clunky.

Any tips?

iMac 24", Mac OS X (10.5.1)

FWIW, In Mac OS X 10.5.1, I did not have any drivers available in "Add Printer" for the CP-200, so I downloaded the ancient "CP Driver 2.41 OS X" from Canon's web site (2/17/04, certified for Mac OS X 10.2) and ran that installer and rebooted. I didn't even have to go through the "Add Printer" step. My CP-200 simply appeared in the Print dialog's popup.

I can print borderless in iPhoto, but I haven't tried any other settings or applications, given the cost of experimenting.

I installed Leopard with "Archive & Install" and I believe I let it install Canon drivers, but I didn't see more than 2 or 3 Canon choices when I initially tried the "Add Printer" popup.

I too could not get my Canon Selphy CP510 to print borderless in iPhoto no matter what I tried.

Well, I just upgraded the GutenPrint driver to 5.1.6 and voila! I am now printing borderless 4x6 prints.
