How can I install Canon LBP2900B on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS ? I tried the method for the installation of LBP2900, but it didn't work.

I tried installing the CanonCaptDrv190 as outlined in the Community wiki and answers #1 by Alvar. #2 by SarveshM @ How to install Canon LBP2900 printer in ubuntu 12.10 but neither approach worked for me. The printer is switched on and has pages in tray and connected through USB.

EDIT: I followed the Ubuntu 13.10 installation method of Community Help Wiki again. Now I get this

On command 4 (sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults) -

update-rc.d: warning /etc/init.d/ccpd missing LSB information

update-rc.d: seehttp://wiki.debian.org/LSBInitScripts

System start/stop links for /etc/init.d/ccpd already exist.

On seeing captstatusui for LBP2900, I get -

Message : No Specified Printer

In the below box I get - Check the (Printer asterix,asterix,asterix (the symbol)) of /etc/ccpd.conf

I tried your method, Elder Geek but it didn't work.

Any more ideas?

Open printers:

Click Add

Choose your printer from the list or enter the URI (the list should populate with detected printers provided you've followed the instructions in the community wiki about setting up CUPS

This is what I get as I print over the network:

Next you'll choose the driver to use for me Brother is recommended, yours will be Canon.

If you have a PPD file you can choose it here, if not, try to choose your printer from the database by selecting Canon here

If you don't find your model listed here hit the back button and try searching for a driver to download above.

Once you've found your model listed, select it and move forward

You'll be asked to identify your printer here:

do so and then click apply. Now print a test page to insure everything is working properly:

If it prints congratulations, your done! If not, right click on the printer and insure that Enabled is checked (it should be)

If you right click on the printer and choose properties you'll get something like this (your URI and driver will be different):

You should insure that these settings make sense if you can't print. If you have the wrong driver and everything else is correct you'll usually get something from the printer (garbled output, page feed, etc.)

I've got the LBP2900 working in Ubuntu 14.04.

1. Download Linux capt driver version 2.60

2. Extract it into download folder and opened the folder for 32 bit, as my installation is 32 bit:

   downloads → linux capt.. → 32 bit driver → debian

3. After that double click on the files, the Ubuntu software center opens and asks to install it. Install both the files one by one, second one first.

4. Install the following additional packages from the Ubuntu software center: portreserve, gsfonts, gsfonts-other, gsfonts-X11.

5. Restart the printer

6. Add your printer and start the printer daemon:

7. Check the function of the printer:

   this will popup a new window. If the message is 'Ready to print', you are done. If the message is error of no printer connected etc., restart the operating system and repeat the steps five to seven, and it will start.

Sometimes it may stop working after restart, then run

and try again.

It was a joyful experience for me to get my lbp2900b working in Ubuntu 14.04, otherwise i will have to make double boot to Windows for just printing.

Try with installing printer-driver-cjet package, which is the common driver for Cannon LBP printers:

Installing Canon LBP2900 / LBP2900B – Ubuntu 14+

Note: Improved clarity of answer; Based on one of the above answers; thanks to that answer; I have 'edubuntu@edubuntu-HCL-Desktop'.

1. Download Linux capt driver version 2.70 for Linux from Canon web site

2. Extract it into downloads folder and open the folder for 32/64 bit:downloads → Linux capt.. → 32/64 bit driver → Debian → you will find two files.

   • cndrvcups-capt_2.70-1_i386[or-amd64].deb
   • cndrvcups-common_3.20-1_i386[or-amd64].deb

3. Turn the printer on

4. Double click on the files, the Ubuntu software center opens and asks to install it. Install both the files one by one, second one first.

5. Install the following additional packages from the Ubuntu software center: portreservegsfontsgsfonts-othergsfonts-X11 (may be already installed, if not then install them).

6. Adding your printer and start the printer daemon with the following commands from a Terminal (open with Ctrl+Alt+T):

   • service cups restart

   (usually display comes as follows)

   • sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -m CNCUPSLBP2900CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E

     (usually display comes as follows)

     [sudo] password for edubuntu: enter password if exists

   • sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP2900 -o /dev/usb/lp0

   (usually display comes as follows)

   • sudo service ccpd start

   (usually display comes as follows)

   • sudo service ccpd status

   (usually display comes as follows)

7. This will pop up a new window. In that If the message is “Ready to print”; then you are ready with the printer LBP 2900. If the message is “error” or “no printer connected” etc then restart the operating system and repeat all the steps at Terminal, and it will start the printer LBP 2900. Sometimes it may stop working after restart, then do this:

If this is the display comes as follows:

8. Then, switch off and On the printer and do at Terminal again:

You are ready with the printer LBP 2900 / LBP 2900B.

One comment , which may help someone in need, please use 32 bit drivers and corresponding instructions (by Sameer/Subbaya), EVEN for a 64 bit machine.

Also , before running the command below , please do check if printer was really present at usb0 (or lp0) : (otherwise use appropriate usb port in it)

sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP2900 -o /dev/usb/lp0

How To Install A (Canon) Printer On Debian And Debian-Like Systems

This tutorial will cover how to install the well-known CUPSprinting system, and optionally tell you how to have your Canonprinter work. There are extra details about where to find Canon drivers and how to install the 'Print to PDF' feature.

AF9015 BDA Device is a windows driver. Driver af9015 bda windows 7.

Cups Installation

If you didn't check any option at the Debian network installation,you will need to download and install a few packages.

Run the following command as root:

This will install CUPS and download a database of printerdrivers.

Allow Users To Print

As the Debian distribution installs a secure Linux system on yourcomputer, most of the permissions involved by installing packages are'opt-in'. This means you have to explicitly grantpermission to users so that they can print.

This is done by adding them to the lpadmin group:

Configure Your Printer

Power on and plug your printer, and then browse tohttp://localhost:631/

Go to the Administration tab and click Add printer. Atthat point you will be required to type your normal user and password(not root).

CUPS will look for printers available on the network or attachedto your computer.

Choose your printer in the Local printers section.

Fill the form if you want to, then see if your printer driver isin the list.
NB: Your exact model number is probably not in thelist, however if you've got a 3030 printer, the 3000 driver is theone you need.

If you don't find your printer in the list, either the driver justdoesn't exist for non-Windows OS / Mac OS, or it is proprietary(non-free).

If you bought a Brother or HP printer, you're luckybecause all of their current printers are provided with an opensourcedriver. Install the hplip package for Hewlett Packardprinters.

You can't find Canon drivers on non-free repositories. You have togo to the Canon website and download them.

Download A Canon Printer Driver

Go to www.canon.com, select your country and language, then go tothe Support page, find your printer (in category 'Printer'or 'Multifunction').
Choose 'Linux' as youroperating system. Let the language setting as it is. (Because maybethe drivers could be hidden if the included manual doesn't exist inyour language).

Comment Configurer Une Imprimante

Download that UFR II driver file.

Install Canon UFR II Driver

You'll end up with a zip file / archive.

Open your Terminalagain, change to your Downloads directory, and unzip that file:

The unzipped directory is the language you choose, e.g. 'english'or 'italiano'. cd to that directory, then openthe 'driver' directory corresponding to your architecture(32 or 64 bits), and finally open the RPM folder.

As you may know, RPM is the 'Red Hat Package Manager',but Debian uses APT. RPM files have the '.rpm' extensionand Debian packages get a '.deb' extension.

So, we willhave to convert them.

For that purpose, install a program calledalien. And I'd advice to install fakeroot as well. (Fakerootallows you to work on Debian packaging without root privileges, whichare not needed until the installation part.)

Then convert the packages:

Finally you can now install them as usual:

Configure Your Printer

Reload the 'Add printer' page on the CUPS webinterface, and this time you should be able to find your printermodel in the list. (You can also press 'Choose another ..'and go back to 'Canon' again.)

You should not need to restart cups, but if you want to, just tobe sure, do the following as root:

Voilà ! You've successfully installed your printer!

Print To PDF

Here is a trick that could be helpful. If you're using anapplication that doesn't provide an 'Export to PDF'function, you can simply print as normally and select a special 'PDFprinter.'

In order to do that, you have to install the 'cups-pdf'package:

Your 'PDF printed' documents will be put in afolder called 'PDF' in your home directory, i.e. ~/PDF/

You may have to create this directory yourself if you have issueswith the cups PDF printer.

Use The CUPS Web Frontend

The CUPS web user interface is the place to go whether youneed to manage your printers and printing jobs, and find the reasonsof printing issues. You can pause or cancel a job and evenre-print a document.

Note you have to modify your /etc/cups/cupsd.conf configuration file if you want the interface to be accessiblefrom other computers in your network.
