Apple did not like the post because it was about an unreleased software. Will post again when the software is out! :)

Driver available on US Canon Support Site. Installed and run it today, it works fine!

Thanks, it works now 🙂

Resorted to installing Windows in a VirtualBox (https://www.virtualbox.org/) and using my CP720 from there... *sigh* Bad, bad, wicked Canon!!

Hey there,

I just figured out a way to install the new Canon SELPHY CP780 driver from the Canon site in Mountain Lion. This driver from March 2012 doesn't install on OS X 10.8 so you need to fiddle with the installer package.

Here are the steps to install this printer driver on Mountain Lion:

1) Go to http://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDEwMDAwNDIwNDAx&cmp=ABR& lang=EN and download the printer driver

2) Double click the cp780-790os-x-06.dmg file

3) Open a new Finder window so you can see the new device "cp780-790os-x-06" in the sidebar.

4) Open the device by clicking it

5) Copy the file "SELPHY CP series Printer driver_6.0.0.21.mpkg" to your desktop by dragging it with the left mouse button.

6) Click the file "SELPHY CP series Printer driver_6.0.0.21.mpkg" on your desktop with the right mouse button and chose "Show contents"

7) Double click the directory "Contents" in the new Finder window

8) Right click "distribution.dist" and chose "Open with.."->TextEdit

9) Change the first function "installationCheck() so it looks like this:

function installationCheck() {

return true;

}

10) Press CMD-S to save the changes.

11) Double click the file "SELPHY CP series Printer driver_6.0.0.21.mpkg" on your desktop to execute it

The installation should work now.

HTH somebody!

I found the drivers and software available to be downloaded from the official website today.

You can choose the Mac OS and the relevant softwares will be shown. Just tried it this afternoon and it works!

Download the Selphy CP900 driver directly from Canon: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/printers_multifunction/compact_p hoto_printers/selphy_cp900#DriversAndSoftware. I tried several other suggestions on here but all had hiccups to them like freezing during printing or not printing when using iPhoto. Spent all day trying to figure this out for my Selphy CP760. Thanks to kt3806st, my Selphy CP760 is now working perfectly in Mavericks and took no more than 5 minutes which was due to rebooting (would have taken less than a minute):

Just follow all of the steps from kt380st (a total of 3). I made only one change to the suggestion in the link which was I downloaded CP900 driver and chose that upon rebooting instead of the CP800 driver. For some reason, the CP800 driver still gave me a few issues. Also, if you are anything like me, I have used so many printers so chose the Canon CP900 driver and not all of the others that say Canon CP900 with variations. The driver version is 6.3.0.2 once installed.
