Sony DPP - Popular Questions, Answers, Tips & Manuals

Since it is small take it back to where you get your cartridges and ask them to replace it for you! You will need a new cartridge anyway.

I have a terrific Sony dpp fp55 dye sublimation printer that worked great until Sony decided not to update the drivers for Windows 7. This is the second time I have had a Sony product, the last was a laptop Vaio, and Sony stopped keeping up with drivers for new operating systems. I did make a work around. First I hammered the VAIO until it was flat and the disk drive could not be used to gather any information. With the sony dpp fp55, I did better. I used my desktop computer with Windows 7 professional to pass all the photos that I wanted to print to a memory card on my Toshiba laptop. That was easy. Then I moved the card to my sony dpp fp55 printer and printed my photos from the memory card. Works fine. Not a big convenience. I also decided to take that hammer to my thumb if I ever bought another Sony product with their Sony Corporation plan of obsolescence, by not keeping up with drivers for their products. I know they have the ability but when you call, they just offer you a new printer. No way, baby. I don't like their business philosophy or their hand in my pocket.

So there's good news and bad news. . The bad news is that it doesn't look like there is a driver for Mac, and Sony apparently has no intention of every developing/releasing one. . The good news is that you can still print photos by taking advantage of the printer's ability to print directly from a camera. . You can upload the photos directly to a memory card using a memory card reader, and then put the card into a camera and print from there. Note that the camera might not accept the photos if you are taking them out of iPhoto, because iPhoto does a conversion on imported pictures that the cameras sometimes don't understand when you try to put them back on the camera. If you want to edit the photos, use a program called GIMP instead of iPhoto. Here's the download link: http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/Download.html . Hope this helps!

Hi there.

Unfortunately this is not MAC compatible. The only way to get this working with a MAC is using a VIRTUAL PC in your Mac. Once you are on the pc side of the machine, you can download the driver for the WINDOWS OS you will be using.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Thank you!

Go to 'system preferences', 'print and fax', click on your printer, click 'Options & Supplies', click 'Driver', click 'select printer software', and finally select 'Sony DPP-EX5 - Gutenprint v5.2.3'.

To get software for printers that were not installed during the Mac OS X installation process, choose Software Update from the Apple menu, allow it to complete the process of "Checking for new software," and then connect your printer or add it using the Print & Fax pane of System Preferences. If software for your printer is available through Software Update, you will see a prompt asking if you would like to download and install this software. If you do not have access to the internet, you can insert the Mac OS X Install DVD and use Optional Installs to install the printer software available from the DVD.

Printer compatibility drivers (CUPS, Gutenprint)
Some of the included drivers were developed through the Gutenprint and CUPS open source projects. You can identify these drivers by looking for "Gutenprint" or "CUPS Sample Driver" next to the model name. You might use one of these drivers if no Snow Leopard-ready driver is available from a printer's manufacturer. Please note that these compatibility drivers may not support all features of your printer, and the printer's manufacturer does not provide support for using these drivers.

If all else fails, you may want to contact Sony for a driver disc replacement:
