Re: [Gimp-print-devel] Problem with getting a Canon Selphy CP790 to work on Mac OSX

[Clemens H. <cl...@gm...>]

Hello Gernot, Hello Solomon
thank you very much for your answers – I‘m sorry for answering late.
I do not have a Linux System – I only have Macs with different OSX systems.
I can also try the printer with the original driver on an old system which
I haven't done yet. (but I think it will be OK because it prints directly
from an SD-Card).
It is not urgent for me – if you need any further informations of my
printer, just tell me how I can help

What can I do to make the printer use the correct backend ?

>If you could confirm the backend that's being used (visible in the

Where shall I look … I can send Screenshots from my system preferences and
from my printer configuration.
Would this already be helpful ? or do I have to go deeper into the system
via the terminal ?
I‘ll be back at my office on monday where I can have a look at the printer.

best regards,
Clemens
