Installing Canon SELPHY CP780/790 driver in Mountain Lion

Thanks for the suggestion about Gutenprint. After three years, I actually got a print. Wonder why the people at Canon can't get a few of their code writers together for an afternoon and reverse engineer this and get a driver that works.

function installationCheck() {

return true;

}

function isContainDowngrade(aChoice) {

Between the two functions it should look like this above. I got mine working. You need to delete a whole chunk of codes.

Great!

with

function installationCheck() {

return true;

}

My Canon SelphyES30 can print again with the "SELPHY ES series Printer driver_6.0.0.1" Lion driver..working well on Mountain lion.

Thanks.

THANKS THANKS THANKS!

It works for me Selphy ES 30 on Mountain Lion with Mountain Driver

I can't believe this..., just only for a couple of code string

THANKS ALL

Thanks very much for this. I used it on the Lion CP760 driver to get it to work in Mountain Lion and it worked fine. I had to do a restart to get it to work, but there it was, straight away.

For the people unsure about which text they are replacing in the driver, you need to replace the whole section:

----------------------------------

function installationCheck() {

return true;

}

<!-- minimum/maximum target -->

if ( (system.compareVersions( system.version.ProductVersion, '10.7' ) == -1) || (system.compareVersions( system.version.ProductVersion, '10.8' ) != -1) ){

my.result.type = 'Fatal';

my.result.title = system.localizedStringWithFormat('installation_check_failed_title');

my.result.message = system.localizedStringWithFormat('installation_check_failed_msg');

return false;

}

return true;

}

----------------------------------

with

-----------------------------------

function installationCheck() {

return true;

}

-------------------------------------

ignoring the dotted lines! In effect this is just deleting some of the text. On my first attempt I didn't delete enough of the function text and got a Javascript error when I tried to install.

Oh I must be jinxed! followed instructions to the letter, deleted the code...same old outcome!!

Vex,

Thanks SO MUCH! I followed the instructions and my selphy es40 now works like dream on Mountain Lion. Haven't been able to use the photo printer for the last six months until now!

Outstanding!!! Worked like a charm!

Thank you for posting this on the internet.

Its unreal that we have to go to these lenghts to make this work.. Of course my upgraded snow lepoard system conitnues to work with this printer, but my new mountain lions have not until now!!

This is great, thanks.

Ok with my Canon ES30.

I don't understand why Canon doesn't make a 10.8 version of the drivers then...

Worked fine here!

Thanks a lot!

I don't understand why Canon (or Apple) doesn't make a 10.8 version of the drivers then...

I couldn't find the Ditribution.dist File in the CP760 File...

How did you guys get the CP760 worked ?

It's exactly as in the first post by viciousvex. I used it on a Canon CP760 without problems. Maybe you missed a step?

Are you using the CP780 driver? Iam trying ist with the 760er one...

I used the CP760 driver cp530-760-770os-x-06.dmg (SELPHY CP series Printer driver_6.0.0.31.mpkg inside)

Hi,

I've got it.

Canon Europe provides another installer package.

Users how want to use 760er one should use the following package

Thanks Grame Mac Arthur!
