Canon SELPHY CP900 Reviews and Driver Download - Canon's
latest thermal dye dedicated photo printer, the Selphy CP900, adds Wi-Fi as a
connection option, but leaves out Wi-Fi Direct, which would make the Wi-Fi far
more useful.
The
CP900 is almost identical to the Canon Selphy CP800 Compact Photo Printing
device that it's in the process of replacing in Canon's line. Both are highly
portable, both hook up to computers by USB cable, and both also print directly
from memory cards, USB memory keys, and PictBridge cameras. They also use the
same products, with the dye roll and paper sold together, and the price per
print out working out to 32 cents with the top overall economy size pack of ink
and paper.

The
CP900's Wi-Fi is both a potentially useful feature and a missed opportunity,
thank you to the lack of Wi-Fi Direct. Briefly, there are three ways to hook up
using Wi-Fi. Infrastructure function lets you hook up to an access point on a
Wi-Fi network, and then print from any source that's also linked to the
network. Ad hoc mode lets you hook up directly between two devices, like the
printer and a smartphone. But for ad hoc mode to be effective, both devices
have to support it, and a great deal of smartphones don't.
Wi-Fi
Direct is similar to tempor?r mode in that you can hook up straight between two
devices, but only one of the two has to support Wi-Fi Direct to make the
connection. It is . designed to make it much much easier to hook up than with
ad hoc mode.
Right
now there aren't a lot of printers with Wi-Fi Direct yet, but it's start to
show up in some models. Unfortunately, the CP900 isn't one of them. If it were,
the Wi-Fi would be much more useful, since you'd be in a position to hook up to
the printer with any smartphone or camera with Wi-Fi. Since it is, however, if
you would like to use Wi-Fi to print from a smart phone or camera that doesn't
support ad hoc function (or support Wi-Fi Direct by itself), you'll have to
hook up both the printer and the device to an access point first.
