Hey and thanks for your report! Ist not a Photobooth issue, it's a driver or setting issue of your Printer/OS. You might want to look at https://www.voss.earth/2018/08/31/kurztipp-canon-selphy-wlan-drucker-cp910-oder-cp1300-unter-linux-cups-verwenden/ , most CP1300 user in our Telegram group followed these instructions with success. It's using a modified official driver get from an iMac instead the gutenprint drivers. I bet you're able to get it translated if you don't speak German.

The print quality was report to be better compared with the gutenprint driver. To recognize the border less print of the picture I was told a first print should be done via Airprint to get the setting applied.

Added a note to the installer, also added the question to install gutenprint drivers. Some user might be unaware about the setup via CUPS.
