Anyone using a Canon Selphy printer with Lion?

I have a Canon Selphy CP800 and it's quite important to me. Canon have not updated the drivers on their website yet and Apple don't list the CP800 as a compatibile printer. Has anyone actually upgraded to Lion and tried the 10.6 drivers for this or any other Selphy?


I'm holding off the Lion upgrade until I know that all my stuff is supported (take note whingers and whiners).


Any insight appreciated.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.1)

For me the provided driver-installer does not work in Lion, I get an error message during installation

No idea if it would keep on working if you already have it installed prior to upgrading


cheers

At the beginning also my cp800 doesn't work, I've delete the printer from the printer list in system preference, and re-add the printer. I've tested it with a jpg sent to the printer from PS, after I fix the printer options (paper format, and so on) the cp800 for the first time started to print with no problems.


At last CANON reach the solution!!! 🙂➕

I have a Canon Selphy CP510 and have been unable to print since "upgrading" to Lion 10.7.x.

I downloaded the Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1 driver just now. Installed it.


Turned on the printer. In the Print & Scan panel of System Preferences the printer appeared and the driver showed as Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1.

I actually did nothing otehr than installing Gutenprint 5.2.8-pre1!. No terminal tricks, no chasing drivers or anything.


It prints!!

How cool is that.


The Guternprint site does not list the CP510 as a supported printer but nevertheless it works!. What Canon failed to do the good folks at Gutenprint have triumphed. Thanks to whoever did al lthat hard work over there.
