I installed Canon LBP2900B 's driver from canon's support page in Ubuntu 12.10. In printers section it is showing my printer as LBP2900 (not as LBP2900B). I can open its properties, can send a command for printing. What's wrong, however, is that in the printing process, it is shown as processing. Suffice it to say that my printer is not working.

  • I have tried everything that was given on this page( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190?action=show&redirect=CanonCaptPrinterDriver), ad the last command I used for monitoring the printer, it gives an error.

    raman@raman-Satellite-A660:~$ captstatusui -P 2900

    *** captstatusui Socket Error ***

I've searched for you this driver and I found it in this page: http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i-SENSYS_LBP2900B.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:14-846492&page=1&type=download

However, I don't know where do you live, so if you click here http://www.canon.co.uk/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i-SENSYS_LBP2900B.aspx?type=download&page=1 you can choose your own language for this driver! Unfortunately I have not tried to search the guide for install the printer. If you have any problems write here, even if I'm a beginner of Ubuntu I'm trying to help all of you!
