I just purchased a Canon Selphy CP910 and am frustrated with the printing options. I'm trying to print one picture, on a half sheet of 4x6 paper, so basically a 2x3. When I print with the option 2x3, it comes out so small, not anywhere near an actual 2x3 size. I have wasted so much paper and ink in trying all the different options, and none are working.
I'm printing "direct connection" from my Mac laptop to the printer.
Any suggestions or anyone know exactly which options I should be doing?
Thanks!

Half of a 4 by 6 is 3 by 4 a 2 by 3 would be quarter of the sheet. I hope you figure it out soon.

I would set up my photos on a 4x6 canvas in the size I wanted in Photoshop Elements and print from there. I need to print some 3x3 photos for some thank you notes I need to make and that's how I'll do it.

I've found that the easiest way for me to do this is to use Photosheet. It's a free program, and it's very easy to use. Here's a link to the download: PhotoSheet. I think you can use it with a Mac, but you'll find all the info. on the website. |

Do you have your paper size set to 4x6?

Are you using the Canon software?

If anyone can recommend an Android app for editing/printing photos to print side by side ( 2 3x4" pics per sheet) directly from my phone on my Selphy, I'd really value your advice, please. I have the Canon app on my phone but just don't find it particularly user friendly or that intuitive.

Did you already crop the photo to be 2x3?
Are you using the 1 up default page setting? Or the 2 up page setting?
Make sure you are using the right page layout for how you want to print.

Okay, I just did this today on my MacBook Pro with a pic I wanted to put on the front of some thank you notes. I had a Project Life overlay on my iPad app that I wanted to put over the photo I wanted to use, but then couldn't import it into PSE for some reason. I wanted to print two 3x4 photos on a 4x6 photo on my Selphy. I ended up printing to my Selphy from Preview, which allowed me to print two per page. I had to click on the portrait/landscape buttons a couple of times, and I think I clicked the size to fit checkbox too, but eventually it worked. I didn't print until I could see that it was set up correctly.
If I would have wanted to print 2x3, Preview would have allowed me to do that too.

This may happen due to poor version of drivers. Thus, check your driver update if it is available then download it from official Canon website. If still you face same error check Canon Seplhy CP910 Manual for more setting options. Hope this would resolve your issue. |

I use the Pic Frame app to print smaller sizes on one 4x6 with my Selphy. I have an iPhone though...not sure if it works with Android.
