How to install Canon LBP2900b drivers? [duplicate]

I seen many times how people describe how to's about LBP-2900, and 10-12 steps from start to end of how to download, unpack, build driver, fix driver, make it work... Could be there some .deb package with ready-to-go driver for Ubuntu? This printer is very popular...

Solution 1:

For the printer, there is a script that should help you do this with little effort - my source is here.

You need to download the script from the Canon Website (you will need to extract this archive). Running the script from a terminal is easy: sudo ./canonLBP_install.sh LBP2900

Solution 2:

What did you do so far?

Setting up a LBP-Printer recently, I had to replug the USB after installing, and to restart ccpd.

Configure your printer in the browser: http://localhost:631/admin

Then, in a Shell, do:

sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd status 
sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart
sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd status
