Canon LBP2900B Printer on Ubuntu 10.04

[Arun Shrimali]

Dear All,

For last few days I am trying to install Canon LBP2900B Printer on newly
Install Ubuntu 10.04.

I have followed Ubuntu help and other helps also like

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/Canon_LBP_2900
http://sunscreen.blog.com/2010/03/31/how-to-install-the-canon-lb2900-on-ubuntu-910/
http://www.unixmen.com/linux-distributions/ubuntu/229-installation-canon-lbp2900-on-linux

But failed, I could not able to print even a single word.

Can anybody help me, and communicate Canon to have proper driver for Linux.

Regards

Arun

If you have followed the instructions accurately and religiously then it
should work.

However, I notice that you mention that you have the LBP2900B printer
whereas the URLs you give above cover the printer model *without* the
"B" at the end (ie, the 2900).

Is there a difference, and what is it if there is, between the 2900 and
the 2900B printer?

Have you looked on the Canon site to see if they have a different
driver, or an upgrade, for the 2900 and the 2900B?

Have you looked at the SANE site to see if there is driver for your "B"
printer" - http://www.sane-project.org/ ?

It's the same driver:

Oh! great finally, I got the print out .........

BUT

(here is the complete story) I think, as I have done lots of experiment,
thus I have to refresh the whole thing, thus I removed completely cups and
cups-common. And reinstall them freshly. Then followed the following link,
which I think is most suited as mentioned for LBP XXXXX

http://www.unixmen.com/linux-distributions/ubuntu/229-installation-canon-lbp2900-on-linux

It worked, but as soon as I restart the PC (Here I would again like to
mention that I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and Canon LBP2900B, where as, at the
bigening of the document it says that LBP2900 is not tested at Lucid) I got
another printer called LBP2900-2. With that, previously installed printer
LBP2900 also stoped working.

Further following the document I tried to uninstall the hal-cups-utils

*$sudo apt-get remove hal-cups-utils

But I found that hal-cups-utils is already not installed.
I delete the printer with following command
**
$ lpadmin -x LBP2900-2 && sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart && sudo
/etc/init.d/cups restart*

And printer started working, but every time I restart the PC,
LBP2900-2 automatic install and printer doesn't worked.

Is there any solution for this ??

Arun

Some more insight, of the problem ...........

I have trying to get printout from my Canon LBP2900B for last few day, after
the above experiment, I am regularly doing hit and trial to get the
printout, and some time I got it.
Here is the finding of my experiments.

Even after the automatic detection of the printer LBP2900-2, there is no
need to del that. But to run the original configured printer LBP2900 you
have to run the following command

$ sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart

The problem is
1) it req. root password
2) after few movement it forget the password / command given

to resolve, again I have to run the command.

Is there any solution of this ............

Hi Arun,
Just follow the link and give your feedback

@ Arun

Dear Junise,

Thanks for the support.
I have followed the instructions given in the link. But no output.
Probably the link is for Canon LBP2900 where as I am having LBP2900B
Because when testing for the status of the printer
$ captstatusui -P LBP2900

It works, but when checking for 2900B shows error

$ captstatusui -P LBP2900B
*** captstatusui Error: No Specified Printer ***
