In each time I start my Ubuntu 12.04 computer I need to type the following commands to get my Canon LBP 2900 printer working. Otherwise the status monitor says "Communication Error". I am using driver version 2.40.

sudo modprobe usblp 
ls -l /dev/usb/lp0 
sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start

  • i guess initially you were in 11.10? better for 12.04 and 12.10 try uninstalling/reinstalling drivers and use the step-by-step guide here (http://askubuntu.com/a/106260/47206) tested in 12.10 for a printer from the same list (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190#Supported_Printers_Canon_CAPT_Driver_v2.4) –  Jan 27 '13 at 22:06

Edit /etc/modules and append usblp. This will load the usblp module at boot time.

To get /etc/init.d/ccpd to start, you will need to have links to the /etc/rc?.d directories. Read man update-rc.d and man insserv and look for an LSB (Linux Standard Base, see Wikipedia for LSB) header in /etc/init.d/ccpd (begins with ### BEGIN INIT INFO). I know nothing about ccpd.
