The Canon SELPHY CP900 driver allows Windows to communicate with this compact photo printer and send print jobs with the appropriate output settings. Installing a compatible Canon driver helps you select the correct paper size, adjust available printing options, and resolve issues caused by a missing or incorrectly configured printer.

Key Features

• Printer recognition: Enables Windows and compatible applications to identify the SELPHY CP900 as a printing device.
• Photo print settings: Provides access to supported paper sizes, orientation, and border options so you can match the layout to your loaded media.
• Output control: Makes the printer’s available quality and color settings accessible through its printing preferences.
• Connection support: Supports communication over the connection methods included in the selected driver package. Wireless printing may require additional network setup.

How to Install

1. Check your Windows version. Before downloading, confirm whether your computer runs Windows 11, 10, 8, or 7, and whether it uses a 32-bit or 64-bit system. Check the package’s compatibility information carefully; older printer drivers may not officially support newer Windows releases.
2. Prepare the printer. Load compatible paper and the matching ink cassette, then connect the printer to power. For USB installation, leave the USB cable disconnected until the installer requests it.
3. Run the installer. Download the appropriate Canon SELPHY CP900 driver package, extract it if necessary, and open the setup program. Approve the Windows permission prompt if one appears.
4. Complete the connection setup. Follow the on-screen instructions to connect the printer. If configuring Wi-Fi, ensure the printer and computer can communicate on the same local network, and follow any separate wireless setup instructions.
5. Check the result. Open Windows printer settings, select the SELPHY CP900, and review its printing preferences. Print a test photo with the correct paper size selected to confirm that the connection and layout are working.

If installation fails, check the driver’s supported operating systems and connection requirements before retrying. Do not assume a package designed for an older Windows version will work correctly on Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Common Issues and Fixes

• Install fails or stalls: Uninstall older Canon SELPHY software first, then run the CP900 driver setup as administrator and allow Windows to install the driver when prompted.
• Device not detected: Power on the CP900, connect it directly to the PC with a known-good USB cable—not a hub—and check Device Manager for an unknown device. Reinstall the driver if needed.
• Driver/version conflicts: Remove other SELPHY printer drivers, confirm you downloaded the correct 32-bit or 64-bit Windows package, reboot, then install the latest CP900 driver.
