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

I can't open the file becuase it says it is not from an unidentified developer. I am very frustrated about this printer

I'll try to install the Canon file but it doesn't work as i said, but I read on Canon website that we have to uninstall the last software... Honesty, i don't dare...

also, i don't try yet iPhoto for identity for the identity format...

Hi there!

You need do deactivate Gatekeeper in order to install the driver. You can do this by going to control panels => security & privacy (see picture below)

Thanks for sharing! This worked perfectly!

Shame on Canon...

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

I recently updated because I was starting to have problems after doing the latest update on my MBP. It seems to be fine with an occasional hiccup where I have to restart.

I googled and here is YouTube video to help http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efnXbn1nC4E

I haven't gone all the way to the end, but when I hard wire the CP910 to my iMac with 10.9.3, I can print right out of iPhoto...wish I knew this like 3 months ago when I was trying this.

I'm keep on having an error massage when i try to install the PackageMaker. Any solution for this?

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?

Oh No! Here we go again! I installed Yosemite and my CP 900 no longer prints. Canon website is useless, meanwhile Epson website has Yosemite drivers for all printers. I will never buy Canon again. Until then I hope someone smarter than me can come up with the fix

Hi, is this the same for Yosemite now as well?

Thanks,

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

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

Alas I am not savvy enough to edit your drop box file using File Package Editor and will have to wait until someone puts the edited installable file on drop box that I can just download and install. I know I should be ashamed but Canon is the one that should be ashamed😠
