Anyone using a Canon Selphy printer with Lion?

Hey there,

I posted a quick guide on how to install the Canon SELPHY CP780 and CP790 driver under Mountain Lion (10.8). Hope this helps anybody...

As my previous thread got deleted by Apple because Mountain Lion was not officially supported until then, here is a new link:

Hi,

My name is Gernot Hassenpflug, and I'm working as volunteer maintainer of the Canon backend of the gutenprint project, of which I've seen some mention here, and very happy to hear it has been of some use to members of this forum.

The SELPHY series is now going to be officially supported in the next release of gutenprint (5.2.9 is the current release), because finally there is good news: the required intelligent spooler has been rewritten (by Solomon Peachy, to whom all this credit goes) to be compliant with CUPS. This means that the dye-sublimation backend of the gutenprint package will be able to support the entire SELPHY series---up to now only some printers would print without the intelligent spooler, so as has been mentioned, gutenprint could not officially support the series.

However, we desperately require information on the USB PID (product IDs) of the SELPHY series, which are not easy to find from the driver files (if they are even visible). It would be a shame to not be able to support some models simply because their USB PIDs are not yet known.

We would very much like to compile a list of the USB product IDs (usually it is available with the "lsusb" command if the printer is attached to the PC). I'm happy to read in this thread, but people can submit them to the gutenprint mailing list: gimp-print-devel@lists.sourceforge.net

Else, directly to me at aikishugyo@gmail.com

Note: some USB IDs are already known on the USB ID database (http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids) and a couple of others are known to us at gutenprint from personal use.

Here is the---sadly short---list of known PIDs (the VID for Canon is 04a9):

ES1 3141

ES2 3185

ES30 31b0

ES40 31ee

CP-10 304a

CP-100 3063

CP-220 30bd

CP-300 307d

CP-330 30be

CP400 30f6

CP600 310b

CP800 3214

Best regards and thanks in advance for any USB PID information,

Unfortunately, there is no lsusb command available for Mac OS X. The easiest way to get this iniformation is to use System Information or System Profiler depending on your system version. They can be found in the /Applications/Utililties directory. If you open that application, highlight USB in the left hand column. Then find and highlight your Canon printer in the top section of the right hand pane. You will see the requested information in the lower pane.

For those that want the equivalent Terminal command to lsusb, it is

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

rossnats,Is there any way you can provide me with the drivers for the canon selphy cr600. I have lion but do not hae copies of snow leopard or the means of running through your instructions you listed. Any help would be appreciated.

Finally got Canon Selphy CP600 to work, thanks to your post. The thing I was missing was to erase the Canon Selplhy Directrory under printers and replace it with the entire directory with the directory from the 10.5 machine that I got the printer working on.

Thanks Matt!

Thank you for your efforts. I am not sure if mine is the same as the CP-220 30bd you listed but here is my info. If it is not the same and you already have a solution for some versions of the CP-220 please let me know, I would like to try it out.

Kind regards,

Jorge
