Jason,

Many thanks for the post to the gutenprint ML.

chiro79, panjan, many thanks for posting the IEEE1284 deviceIDs for the CP530 and CP810. I'll add them to the source code tonight.

If others could post similar information for the printers below that would be fantastic.

IEEE1284 Information still missing for the following printers:

CP520 (USB ID not known either)

CP740

CP770

CP790 (USB ID not known either)

CP900

ES20

Jason,

Last night I had a chance to follow your instructions you put on the gutenprint development site. I followe everything you posted step by step. I got to the step 6 where you talk about build, compile, and install and that is where I couldn't get it to work. Here are my quesions. I followed all of the steps 1-5 and did them from terminal under os x, was this correct or should this been somehow done in terminal mode in xcode? All of the files that were downloaded are somewhere on my imac drive right now because when I do a spotlight search for "gutenprint" they show up with last nights date. If you have any tips on how to proceed or if I did not do the procedure right to get to the final step could you please share with me. By the way I am running osx mavericks 10.9.1

Thanks,

Kevin

Xcode does not require a different terminal, or anything like that. The only issue with the tools would be whether port (to get cvs) and cvs need to be listed in your $PATH variable (or run full path). On my machine, I untarred the gutenprint tarball in my user's home folder. when opening terminal, I was already in my home folder, so I just had to cd to the gutenprint folder. That is where I ran the cvs update, ran ./configure to build the files to compile for my machine, make to compile, and sudo make install to install it with super user priveleges. If the cvs update is not run in the tarball directory, you may get the updates, but they will not be in the right place to compile gutenprint.

I'm no pro with this stuff, but here's what worked for me.

after the tools were installed:

get a copy of the gutenprint tarball to your directory of choice

extract the directory structure and files in the tarball (I used the tools built into finder)

you should be left (as of the current release) with a directory called something like gutenprint-5.2.9

in terminal:

cd to directory of choice (I used my home directory so cd by itself is adequate)

cd

cd gutenprint-5.2.9

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@gimp-print.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gimp-print login

(enter)

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@gimp-print.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/gimp-print co -P print

./configure

make

make install

The second cvs command wrapped to a second line. "co -P print" is the end of the cvs command on the same line.

Ok I followed all of your instructions listed in you most recent post. Everything worked according to your instructions. In the end when I do not think the gutenprint updated as the list of all of the devices still said gutenprint 5.2.9. I even used the gutenprint uninstaller to make shure that the old ones were removed. I re did the steps and the devices from the list still listed gutenprin 5.2.9 in the device choices. I still do no know what I am doing wrong.

Kevin

Kevin,

I do not believe that you are doing anything wrong. The code tarball is 5.2.9, and CVS would update changes within it. I'm pretty sure it will not say 5.2.10 untill the tarball is updated to reference that version number (I could be wrong). I'm not familiar with the process used to polulate the gutenprint version listed with the print driver though. The printer that I need to have supported still is not in the list, so I have not been able to test one of the drivers. It looks like somebody in the gutenprint project is working on picking up the mac software packaging, so we may get a regular release of the newer software after all. Is your printer in the driver list? if so, have you attempted to use the driver?

Jason

Jason

My printer is the CP-600 and it is frustrating because I want to test using the 5.2.10 because it says it supports all CP Selphy printers. Oh well I guess I will try again or wait for someone to compile 5.2.10 in a pkg.

Kevin

Kevin,

I cannot speak to what changes between the .9 and .10 releases, nor can I speak to specific driver support. I am in the same boat, looking for a Selphie ES40 driver. I wanted to compile the latest code just to see if it would happen to support my printer. It does appear that the interest in getting the lastest software compiled on a Mac has gotten some gears turning to get the latest software built for Mac. Hopefully these efforts will lead to us being able to use our printers on our Macs soon.

I do like this to print photos with Selphy CP760, SD card and iPhoto.

In iPhoto choose the photo.

File > Export

Type: Original

Filname: Sequential

Prefix .... : Type any number

Export

Choose the SD card

I haven´t found the correct settings to print an edited photo...

I don't get it to work as I want to... I want to print photos in the size I want with great colours and use the USB cable.

I've got Selphy CP760, OS 10.8.2 and Gutenprint.

If I print a 4"x6" photo with Gutenprint and USB cable the colours are great.

If I print a 4"x6" photo with SD card (exported from iPhoto) the colours are great.

If I export photos to SD card and print two (or more or one small) photos on the same paper and do the settings on the Selphy the colours are great.

If I print two (or more, or one small) photos on the same paper with iPhoto and Gutenprint and USB cable the colours are dull.

I have created one 4"x6" photo out of two photos in the iPhone app Layout. USB cable = dull. SD card = great colours but the size changes.

I have created one 4"x6" photo out of two photos in Photo Scape on Mac. USB cable = dull. SD card = Selphy can't read edited photos. (Or I can't correctly export edited photos.)

The size options on the Selphy is not enough for me so I can't use them. I don't want to use SD card. I don't want dull colours.

Any suggestions?

I am keen to get to hear when the next version of Gutenprint will enable my Canon Selphy CP600 to work under OSX 10.9.1 Mavericks

With respect for all the work that is being done!

Hi Guys,

Im hoping someone can help me. I have the Canon CP-300 and want to simply print from my iPhone5 or iPad Air... Happy to use a cable but it wont recognise the printer....

Anyone know an App that makes the pinter work with the iPhone?

Thanks

Paul

I'm on Mavericks 10.9.1 I have a Selphy CP740. All was working well before I upgraded the OS (Previously 10.6.8).

I have tried several things, reset the printer settings, reloaded the drivers, deleted and reinstalled the printer...the Gutenprint driver version is 5.2.3

As an example printing from Preview, things seem to work fine, the printer fires up, the transfer to the printer starts and gets tp 100% but never says complete and the blue bar stays there, the printer moves the paper through ready to start printing, then it hangs, paper not moving but motor running (or is a fan). Nothing will clear it except unplugging the power from the printer.

It seems to me like it is waiting for an end of file marker or something.

Anyone able to help ?? Please.
