Canon Selphy stopped working...

Hi. My Canon Selphy 510 photo printer stopped working with my macbook. It worked before, but now stopped. I was able to connect it to my g4 tower and get it to print from there (so we know it's not a hardware or cable issue), I was also able to print directly from my camera. I also have another printer on the network that is working 100% with this mac.

On the macbook, I uninstalled, then reinstalled the canon drivers. reboot, etc. no dice.

Here's the problem:
When you print, it fails. And the printer queue status goes back to Stopped. The normally lit green light blinks red just once.

At the end of this post is a clip from the error log (I set cups to debug loglevel for this). Notice how it thinks that it's out of paper and or ink, but it's not! I even tried to print without the paper in, to force it into a REAL no-paper-state, and this didn't help.

Let me add, the Canon Printmonitor application always just says Ready, and doesn't indicate any error state.

Do you guys have any ideas? Could there have been a software update I installed between now and when the printer worked that broke something? Thanks.

Hi there,

We have a Selphy 810 and I was going to test this on an Intel Mini, as I'm concerned it may be an issue with the PPC drivers on the Intel Mac, but unfortunately the power supply for the printer is missing so I cannot check this for you just yet. I'll keep on the hunt and hopefully have a reply soon.

In the meantime, what application are you trying to print from? If its a Universal app, then you could try setting the app to open using Rosetta. This would help to identify if its an Intel issue. Also, have you tried setting the Page Setup > Format for to the Selphy rather than 'Any Printer'?

Okay, found the power supply for the 810 and installed the driver on an Intel Mini. Looks like it isn't an issue with the PPC driver on an Intel, as I was able to print 6x4's from iPhoto without error. Also, setting the Format for in Page Setup to Any Printer made no difference, it still printed fine.

Hopefully someone out there has a DS510 and can give you more help.
