Canon SELPHY CP720
I just got one of these in a camera/printer package deal. I've never had a
photo printer before but it is way kewl! It's worth what it cost in entertainment value... just watching it print. And in my opinion the quality of the prints are excellent. If anyone here has any experience with one, maybe you could help me solve a couple of issues. 4 X 6 is what I want but the only paper I've been able to locate for it is "postcard" style with the postcard junk on the back of it. Can I get the same stock (glossy) somewhere *without* the printing on the back? I dual boot XP and Vista but run XP 98% of the time. Tonight I thought I'd see if I could install it in Vista. The installation went fine, but it just won't print. Printer status says "printing" and it shows 1 in the queue, but it's doing nothing. No errors. No nothing. Does anyone have one working in Vista? -- --- A dyslexic man walks into a bra --- |

I assume that the postcard stock is the only 4x6 paper because that is all I see in the stores. Just don't look at the back. Gary Eickmeier |

It really doesn't bother *me* but if I do prints for other people, it'll make them wonder... :-) -- --- A dyslexic man walks into a bra --- |

It must be another of those quaint restrictions imposed in the USA. 6 x 4 Glossy Photo Paper is available everywhere in the UK. I mean everywhere, even our local SPAR shop sells it. For those who don't know, Spar is a chain of "Moma & Popa" type mini markets Roy G |

After a couple hours, I finally got mine working in Vista. My problem was that after the archive self-extracted, Vista didn't know where to find the drivers to finish the install. To work around this, after the archive self-extracted, I found the extracted files in their temporary location (C:\users\mindless888\appdata\local\temp \wzse4.tmp) and pointed Vista to that location when it asked where the drivers could be found. Note that wzse4.tmp could be a different folder (i.e. wzse3.tmp, etc.) Printing now works great when I use the ZoomBrowser. |
