How to setup Canon Selphy CP900 printer over WiFi in Mavericks?

Hi,

After upgrade to Mavericks I can't install my Canon Selphy CP900 printer.

I simply wanted to print over WiFi network.

How could I do that?


Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Hi All


New to Mac, but having issues with installing the software provided by redogg. When I attempt to install the software it won't let me. It says the printer driver cannot be installed because a newer verson is already installed. I can not figure out how to unistall the previous driver. Ugh. So frustrating. I hate not being able to use my printer.

It seems that Canon has an official driver available now. I just checked here:

http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Compact_ Photo/CD__CP_series/SELPHY_CP900.aspx


And found this:

SELPHY CP Printer Driver V6.3.0 for OS X v10.9

File version: 6.3.0

Operating system(s): OS X v10.9


I wonder if it is "safe" to update from the one I installed using this thread. I have some issues to get the correct default paper size working and thought I should try updating the software/driver.


best regards,

Øyvin

This worked for me well and I used my selfie CP900 unter Maverics with this downloaded file. Thank you!


Now I upgraded to Yosemite and the CP900 did´nt work after the upgrade. So I went through all the desired steps with the new Canon package 6.3.0.2, which is for Maverics. I extracted the distribution file with the method described above and renamed 10.9 to 10.10 and 10.10 to 10.11. I saved the packe, but could not run it. It gave me a Java Script error back. Sad. Does anyone know a solution?

It basically works the same way with Yosemite. Replace line 11 with:


if ( (system.compareVersions( system.version.ProductVersion, '10.10' ) == -1) || (system.compareVersions( system.version.ProductVersion, '10.11') != -1) ){


Note that you have to remove one space to keep the file the same length. Otherwise you'll get a JavaScript error.
