If the files have been edited by Preview they will not show as editable.

With my Mac Mini under Yosemite (10.10.5), Ive found that pics exported as.jpg from Photos, Preview, and Gimp all fail to be recognized by the printer.

Canon Selphy Cp900 Manual Says They

The Selphy manual says they should be Exif.jpegs, and Gimp gave a choice in advanced settings of saving with Exif andor with XMP.

I processed the same photos through Photoshop on my old Mac G3 (OS 10.2.8) and they are recognized and print fine.

Has there been a change to the default.jpg standard(s) that renders the newer files unrecognizable, and is there a fix.

I did send the.jpgs that Photoshop processed from the G3 to the Mini via router, saved them to the Flash drive from the Mini, and they printed fine.

It is only when theyve been entered into one of the programs and exported as a.jpg that they dont print.

The Selphy does know there is a file there, but it is just a question mark with no image; it does have the date of creation.

And it will not print, so it is not a display problem on the printer.

Preview had failed, but Id imagine itll work too without the hub.

Of course, that still doesnt explain why a.jpg from those programs wont work stand-alone on the flash drive as they do from my old machine.

According to the Canon website, you should be able to use its software, and the printer has built-in wireless networking.

Thats a question only Canon could answer.

And on the Apple Community site, Nov 24, 2014, under How to install Canon Selphy 900 on OS X 10.10 Yosemite a poster wrote: No help from Canon, they sent me a link to this websitethread.

If anyone has a solution for this problem I would really appreciate it.

If Canon is linking to Apple and has no plans for updating the driver, I think the 3rd-party software offered in the Apple discussion was my only option.

As to the second point, further looking into.jpgs and Exif, under displaying the question mark error I found: Canon Community on 12-27-2012: This issue may be related to the images on the card.

The images may not be in JPEG format or there may be issues with the EXIF data for those particular pictures.

Unfortunately, we would have to advise that you print these particular images from a computer.

And a link to this info from the Canon articles: A question mark will be displayed for images other than JPEG images conforming to the Exif standard.

IMPORTANT Irregularly sized images, or images that have been edited on a computer may not display or print properly.

So it appears to be a known problem, harkening back at least to 2012 with Photoshop images for the poster.

Since it is happening with Preview, Photos, Gimp, and Photoshop, Id guess either Canon has a very restrictive Exif standard for this printer or Apple, Adobe, and others have over some period of time deviated away from what former standards existed.

But then we all know how standards work--seldom--in the computer industry.
