I found a long discussion on one website, that gutenprint hat developed
an better backend for the canon Selphy printer. There for CUPS may not
include a backend for that printers.

http://gutenprint.996281.n3.nabble.com/Updated-spooler-for-Canon-Selphy-
dye-sub-printers-td6198.html

And indeed, I found an entrance in cups-1.7.0 source code which says it
is blacklist:

# Canon SELPHY CP510
0x04a9 0x3128 blacklist

But the manual of gutenprint  says:
“Gutenprint 5.2 no longer provides the epson and canon back ends provided by 
earlier releases of Gutenprint to return printer status information. Instead, 
the standard back ends (such
as the usb backend) should be used.”

Hey folks, does this mean we now have no backend for canon Selphy
printers at all?

I only have the wish to print some picture-cards for my family.    :-(
