Q: Installing Canon SELPHY CP780/790 driver in Mountain Lion
-
Dec 17, 2012 8:37 PMby pprioroh,I got mine to work by installing the Gutenprint drivers (Gutenprint Printer Drivers). I'm not sure it works as it did before, but at least I got it to be installed and print.
Canon still ***** for not supporting such a newer printer on Mac.

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.

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!!
