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?



Regards,
Andy

Open printers:



Openprinters



Click Add



Add printer



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



New printer



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



pop-printers



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



driver



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



Canon



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



You'll be asked to identify your printer here:



identify



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



test page



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



enabled



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



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.)
