Although these printers advertise themselves as standard USB Printer Class devices, they do not actually obey those specifications and require special two-way handshaking in order to successfully print. This backend can only be used in conjunction with Gutenprint 5.2.10 or newer. Please see the Gutenprint README file (section II D) for more information on use of this backend and integration into CUPS. While this repository is considered the canonical upstream source for this code, code snapshots are bundled with each Gutenprint release. Generally speaking, the code in this repository will require the current Gutenprint release (or pre-release) to generate the actual print jobs. As such, when compared to any given Gutenprint release, the code found here is usually newer, with additional features, device support, and bugfixes. At the same time, it may have half-developed features that don't quite work, with giant bugs that come out at midnight to eat your cat. With rare exceptions, all printer support in selphy_print (and Gutenprint) was developed without any assistance from the printer manufactuers, relying on reverse-engineering and a great deal of experimentation. On that note, please keep in mind that this software distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. *************************************************************************** This backend also supports a "standalone" mode that performs various utility functions for selected printers, such as querying status and configuring various parameters. The exact commands supported for each printer are documented below. *************************************************************************** Compilation: This tool requires libusb 1.0 to build. We highly recommend v1.0.16 or newer due to general stability improvements. Versions older than 1.0.10 will require -DLIBUSB_PRE_1_0_10 to be defined (see the Makefile). To further complicate things, libusb-1.0 had a temporary fork called libusbx, but that was merged back into libusb as of v1.0.18. Consequently, your distribution package for libusb-1.0 may be called libusbx instead. Additionally, you will need the CUPS development packages installed. Fedora/RedHat: yum install libusbx-devel libusb1-devel cups-devel Debian/Ubuntu apt-get install libusbx-dev libusb-1.0-0-dev libcups2-dev And all you need to do after that is type 'make' *************************************************************************** CUPS backend usage: DEVICE_URI=someuri \ gutenprint52+usb job-id user title num-copies options [ filename ] The backend generates output for CUPS to parse, including logging print counts, and if the printer supports it, reporting media type and remaining media counts. Please note that this backend merely handles the low-level communication with the printer! Actually generating print jobs requires use of Gutenprint compile with support for CUPS. *************************************************************************** Standalone usage: This backend is set up as a multi-call executable; that is to say behaivor changes based on the name used to invoke the executable. When compiled, a set of symlinks are created, corresponding to each of the internal backends. Alternatively you may set the BACKEND environment variable to force a specific backend to be used. These commands are equivalent: BACKEND=backend gutenprint52+usb [ arguments ] backend [ arguments ] All backends support the following invocations: backend [ arguments ] backend [ arguments ] filename backend [ arguments ] - < filename somecommand | backend [ arguments ] - The 'filename' here refers to the raw spool data generated by Gutenprint (eg via its gimp plugin) or the Windows print-to-file output. All global arguments: -D Increment debug level [1] -G Display GPL text -f Enable fast return mode if possible [2] -d numcopies Print 'numcopies' of the supplied job [1] This argument can be repeated to increase the debug level. Alternatively, the 'DYESUB_DEBUG' environment variable can be used. For example, '-DDD' and 'DYESUB_DEBUG=3' are equivalent. DYESUB_DEBUG=1 Enable debug output DYESUB_DEBUG=2 Dump contents of short messges DYESUB_DEBUG=3 Dump contents of all messages [2] This terminates the backend as soon as the printer has acknowledged the print job, without waiting for the print job to complete. Not all printers support this feature. This can also be enabled by setting the 'FAST_RETURN' environment variable. This is the default behavior when using this backend with CUPS. Finally, some backends support additional arguments; see their details below. *************************************************************************** Other Environment Variables: If you have multiple models of the same printer family connected simultaneously, the backend will choose the first one it finds. If you wish to target a specific device, you may specify its serial number using the 'SERIAL' environment variable. For example: SERIAL=N782 backend filename [ arguments ] All backends support an additional operational mode, to test out unknown models. To use this mode, specify the VID, PID and its internal device type as environment variables: EXTRA_VID=04a9 EXTRA_PID=3ab1 EXTRA_TYPE=7 backend filename The VID and PID are specified in hexidecimal, and the TYPE is the P_XXX enumeration defined in backend_common.h. The '7' in this example corresponds to most Canon SELPHY CP models, and is what you would use if you were trying to get the backend to detect an otherwise unrecognized SELPHY CP model. If you are able to successfuly print using this technique, please let us know so we can add the apppriate entry to the internal database. For debugging USB operation, there following environment variables can be set: MAX_XFER_SIZE Maximum transfer size, in bytes. XFER_TIMEOUT Timeout, in milliseconds, for all USB operations for example: MAX_XFER_SIZE=32768 XFER_TIMEOUT=30000 backend filename *************************************************************************** BACKEND=canonselphy Verified supported printers: ES1, ES2, ES3, ES30, ES40, CP-10, CP-100, CP-200, CP-300, CP-330, CP400, CP500, CP510, CP710, CP720, CP730, CP740, CP750, CP760, CP770, CP780, CP790, CP800, CP900 Unverified/untested, but should work: (let us know, please!)

Thank you! Verified supported printers: Ciaat Brava 21 Shinko CHC-S6145 (aka "Sinfonia CS2") *** VERY IMPORTANT *** In order to generate usable output, the Sinfonia CHC-S6145 printer (and its siblings) require the input data to be transformed using specific image processing algorithms. The library that implements this processing is dynamically loaded at runtime. There are three options: * libS6145ImageProcess -- Supported by Sinfonia, this is a proprietary library only available for x86 and x86_64 linux targets. It can be obtained by politely contacting your local Sinfonia distributor. If you have the appropriate permission fron Sinfonia and its technical and legal limitations are acceptible to you, we recommend you use the supported libS6145ImageProcess library, as it will generate the highest quality output. * libS6145ImageReProcess -- GPL'd re-implementation of the Sinfonia algorithms, available as source. It is a drop-in replacement that appears to generate identical output to the proprietary Sinfonia library. DISCLAIMER: Sinfonia Inc was not involved in the creation of libS6145ImageReProcess and is not responsible in any way for any deficiencies in its output. They will provide no support if it is used. Do *NOT* contact Sinfonia for support if you are using libS6146ImageReProcess. (Please see the full disclaimer in libS6145ImageReProcess.c) * If neither of the above libraries are found, the backend will fall back to a very crude algorithm that generates low-quality results not suitable for photographic output As selphy_print is released under the terms of the GPL, it cannot normally be combined with proprietary libraries. Therefore, the authors of selphy_print grant its users an additional permission (under section 7 of the GPLv3) to combine and/or redistribute it with the libS6145ImageProcess library.

Currently, Gutenprint performs a relatively crude linear conversion that results in poor quality output. Unlike the D70 family, the data tables used are embedded into the driver instead of being bundled separately, further complicating the process of figuring out how everything works.
