Anyone using a Canon Selphy printer with Lion?

I think someone should do a youtube tutorial this. Its soooooooooo confusing when you don't know much about this kind of stuff!!! If any one should make a tutorial, PLEASE let me know! Thanks.

Lion 10.7 Drivers are out!

Here is the Canon page for Selphy 800

I'm not seeing anything new for. I see only drivers from 09/08/10, which aren't for Lion.

A massive thanks to everyone in this thread who figured this out.

I stumbled on this thread yesterday while trying to determine why I couldn't print with my Selphy CP500 in Lion. I needed to print in a hurry, so I booted off an external HD running Snow Leopard, installed the drivers there, and did what I needed to do.

With some time today, I worked through the thread, and used tahitibub's instructions mentioned on p.7 as guide for adding my CP500 in Lion:

Since I had installed the drivers in Snow Leopard just yesterday, I just used my files for editing:

/Library/Printers/InstalledPrinters.plist

/private/etc/cups/printers.conf

and copied my own CP500 ppd into:

/private/etc/cups/ppd

Just printed with the CP500 in 10.7.3 without issue from Canon's Digital Photo Professional.

Thanks again.

Nevermind, I thought the drivers were out. They just updated their image browser software.

They updated some other software for Lion with post dates of 3/7, not necessarily for printers:

Photo Stitch

CameraWindow

There are some new utilities (for me at any rate) like Image Browser EX

I missed the upgrade last month to Digital Photo Professional 3.11.4 -- but man is that one polluting my Console logs. I can't remember if the last version I had 3.11.1 did the same thing.

Try a different support site, e.g. Europe, but as already mentioned above, I see only drivers from 09/08/10, which aren't for Lion.

The link appears broken.

The file is for Image Browser, not drivers. Hopefully the driver will appear soon. Why bother posting software you can use with the printer when you can't use the printer without the driver?..........unless you migrated from SL.

I followed this thread and hope it would work with my printer as well. I have the CP720.

Can anyone post in particular the PPD file for the CP720?

Maybe some good person could install the CP drivers in snow leopard... I only have Lion, it came with my iMac.

Thank you all for the work done.

I didn't buy this printer to use SD cards. Canon should have their reproductive organs removed for this, or perhaps they should just be fired. I am all for problem solving difficulties but this is nothing short of failing to provide adequate support for a section of their user base. I am not sure how long lion and CP800 have been coexistent but a policy decision NOT to provide a driver? Come on. I can feel a great deal of negative publicity for Canon coming on. Yes I am sooooo ******.

Best of luck to all with this one.

The driver has been released!!!!~

That's good for CP800 owners. There's no update for my CP500, so I'll still need to hack. But I didi not check whehter the driver for the CP800 includes other Selphy printers however.

Thanks for the heads up though, some of the other Lion software that appeared earlier but with broken links, then disappeared, have reappeared with functioning links. So I can download now Lion compatible versions of Image Browser and Photo Stitch.

Try the latset Gutenprint driver.

It now supports my CP750.

Works like a charm!

Printer up and running. Yippee!
