Printer Profile Canon SELPHY 1500

Hello!

 

I am trying to print from Lightroom Classic straight to a printer.  I bought a Canon SELPHY 1500.  When I plug the printer in, Lightroom does not load the paper size correctly.  It only offers Japanese Post Card, Credit Card, and Metric Photo L.

 

It will not print a proper 4X6, like intended for the printer.  It won't even let me create a custom size.

 

What am I doing wrong?

Choose Japanese post card - which is strictly 100mmx148mm or very roughly 4x6 inches.

I get 4x6 if I use Japanese postcard. Maybe this will work. I however get borders around my image on the Selphy and I want to print borderless. Unsure how to get this to happen.

I also get borders - quite big ones that don't appear to relate to the settings in the print module.

I have selected to 'print borderless' in the advanced section of the Printer dialogue.  This does appear to then properly zoom to fit the entire postcard.

 

However - I have not yet managed to print with just a normal thin boarder - under my control.  Seems a bit random.

Any solutions here?


I just went through this myself. Try this:
From the second picture OP posted hit properties.
Click advanced.
Printer features - Borderless printing: set to off.

So from your test, this sounds like nothing to do with a profile but rather a page size and setup. 

Is there another command or option for either Page Setup or Custom page size in that printer driver? 

Try: https://support.usa.canon.com/kb/index?page=content&id=ART180917#page_layout

LR doesn't load anything in terms of this print driver so you need to be viewing the options for the driver from Canon etc.

You probably already figured this out but my Selphy prints best using these lightroom settings. Zoom to fill is checked and all the margins at 0 except for the bottom at 0.01 in( portrait mode with height at 5.50 and width at 3.70 or if in lanscape it would change to 0.01 for the rightand height at 5.50 and width at 3.70. Then in the advance printer properties turn borderless printing on and scaling to none.
