Can't Print to Canon Selphy CP720

I realised that after updating my Macbook Pro to OS X 10.9.1, I can't print to my Canon Selphy CP720.


I've already deleted and reinstalled the printer. Everytime I click print, it will just feed paper and hang.


I tried printing from SD Card to check if my printer is working and it worked fine. So I think it has to do with the software?


Pls help advise.


thanks

MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), OS X Mavericks (10.9.1)

I looked at the canon website. There is apparently no updated driver for your printer. Canon U.S.A. : Support & Drivers : SELPHY CP720


You could look at Gutenprint and see if there is a driver: Gutenprint for Mac OS X


Here's a ML reference but it still applies for Mavericks: OS X Mountain Lion: If the software for your printer can’t be found

Folks:


Finally had success for my Selphy CP740. I assume this solution will work for the CP720 as well. Remove your Selphy Printer in Settings. Download and install the latest driver for the CP900 (Mavericks version) from canon, reboot, install Selphy in printer setting and select the CP800 driver software.


Only took a few months!

This totally worked for my Selphy CP760! Tried other options on here and none of them were compatible with iPhoto. Thanks!!!! The key to to make sure to REBOOT and then install. I instead chose the Canon CP900 driver.
