Re: Canon LBP2900 printer
you need Canon's CAPT driver from here http://support-asia.canon-asia.com/cont ... 59601.html and was updated May 2017
if you click to SAVE the file, it should end up in your Downloads folder; it should be linux-capt-drv-v271-uken.tar.gz then you need to open a terminal; and copy the commands that are below; and paste them into a terminal;
to open a terminal; (hold the control and alt and t buttons down ..)
To paste the commands below into a terminal; right-click at the flashing text prompt in the terminal; and select PASTE from the menu that appears .
.. so copy each command below; one line at a time; and paste into the terminal and hit the ENTER key ..
that gets us into the directory where the 2 needed files are so
so drivers installed, next is Register the printer (PPD) with the print spooler.
next is Register the printer in the ccpd daemon setup file.
.......... that assumes you have 1) a usb connection and 2) this LBP is the only printer connected ..... TELL US if that is wrong ......
next is start ccpd daemon
and you should be able to print .......

Re: Canon LBP2900 printer problem
I installed following the instructions. A printjob is send to the printer and gets cancelled. Has it something to do with the fact I also have a second Netwerkprinter, a HP Envy 5540?
problem solved after I followed the last steps as indicated on viewtopic.php?f=51&t=227818&p=1208926&h ... 0#p1208926
