  • First Print Out Time in only 9.3 seconds
  • Up to 2400 x 600dpi print resolution
  • Energy efficient and quiet operation
  • Easy to use All-in-One cartridg

This tutorial will show you how to install Canon LPB2900 on Linux, tested also on Canon LBP3100 and is working, and should work on all

the Canon laser printers LBP XXXX Series.

Before to begin we have to see if all the necessary dependencies are installed, if not we have to install them, check the ones below if already

are installed :

1/6: printer-testpages

2/6: dynamic
3/6: libopenslp1
4/6: cups-common
5/6: portreserve
6/6: cups

If all is installed then we go with the installation :

1- Download the driver from here, or from :

2- change to root :

su -  (root)

3- change to the folder where you download the driver and extract it, in my case :

 cd /home/zinovsky/Desktop

tar -xvf Driver.tar.gz change Driver with the name and version of your driver in my case i downloaded CAPTDRV180.tar.gz

output :

[root@localhost Desktop]# tar xvf CAPTDRV180.tar.gz

so now if we want to install in debian ( ubuntu for exmple) we have to choose :

CANON_UK/Driver/Debian/cndrvcups-common_1.80-1_i386.deb
CANON_UK/Driver/Debian/cndrvcups-capt_1.80-1_i386.deb

if We have to install the driver on red-hat based distribution like in my case will choose

CANON_UK/Driver/RPM/cndrvcups-common-1.80-1.i386.rpm
CANON_UK/Driver/RPM/cndrvcups-capt-1.80-1.i386.rpm

like this :

[root@localhost Desktop]# cd CANON_UK/ 
[root@localhost CANON_UK]# ls Doc/ Driver/ Src/ [root@localhost CANON_UK]# cd Driver/ [root@localhost Driver]# ls Debian/ RPM/

in my case i will install in red-hat based distribution so is a RPM package ( fedora,Mandriva, Linpus )

[root@localhost Driver]# cd RPM/
[root@localhost RPM]# rpm -ivh cndrvcups-common-1.80-1.i386.rpm

Preparing… ########################################### [100%]
1:cndrvcups-common ########################################### [100%]
[root@localhost RPM]# rpm -ivh cndrvcups-capt-1.80-1.i386.rpm
Preparing… ########################################### [100%]
1:cndrvcups-capt ########################################### [100%]

Driver is installed .

4- Now we have to restart CUPS :

/etc/init.d/cups restart

5-Now type tail /var/log/messages

[root@localhost ~]# tail /var/log/messages

Jan 24 18:37:51 localhost perl: [RPM] cups-1.3.9-0.2mdv2009.0 installed
Jan 24 18:40:25 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6

Jan 24 18:40:25 localhost kernel: usb 1-1: SerialNumber: 0000A376H8Jd
Jan 24 18:40:25 localhost kernel: usblp0: USB Bidirectional printer dev 6 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0×2676
Jan 24 18:40:25 localhost kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver usblp

6- Now type :

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -m CNCUPSLBP2900CAPTK.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E

 

N.B : If you are trying to install another LBP printer other than LBP2900 then use the command bellow and choose the CNCUPSLBPxxxxCAPTK.ppd

that correspond to your printer model and replace it in the the command above.

ls /usr/share/cups/model/ |grep CNCUPS

7-and then

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

N.B : If you are trying to install another LBP printer other than LBP2900 then change LBP2900 in the command above with your LBPxxxx printer

output :

CUPS_ConfigPath = /etc/cups/

LOG Path = None

UI Port = 59787

Entry Num : Spooler : Backend : FIFO path : Device Path : Status

—————————————————————————-

[0] : LBP2900 : ccp : /var/ccpd/fifo0 : /dev/usb/lp0 : New!!

8- /etc/initd/ccpd start :

/etc/init.d/ccpd start

9- Now Set ccpd to start when you startup your computer:

For debian use :

sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults 20

for other distributions i prefer this methode :

gedit /etc/rc.local

and add at the end :

 /etc/init.d/ccpd start

save and close

10- Printer is ready to print :)

Status Monitor :

to monitor printing type :

captstatusui -P LBP2900

    after testing about every other option to get LBP2900 runing i found, this was most simple and instantly working one.

    many thanks UNIXMAN :)

    Hello guys.
    I’ve always good solution for installation of this printer.

    I’m trying this method on intrepid 8.10.

    Afraid this could be quite basic question, excuse me.
    I’m stuck at the step of pre-install to check these dependencies as zinovsky mentioned.
    1/6: printer-testpages
    2/6: dynamic
    3/6: libopenslp1
    4/6: cups-common
    5/6: portreserve
    6/6: cups

    But I don’t know how to check and how to install?
    Can anybody advise me???

    electra

    • zinovsky

      To test DEPENDENCY on ubuntu 8.10 try the test by installing one by one,if you are a bigenner so just use the command :
      [code]sudo apt-get install dependenie name[/code]
      if it gives you: nothing todo do -already installed- then go to the second dependency, if it is not installed the installation of the dependency will continue.
      folow this methode from 1/1 to 6/6
      After you finish testing, then begin installation. and if you have a problem we are here to help you.
      Good Luck :twisted:[/quote]

    hey…. thanks for the reply now i have to try it out but there is another problem…. yesterday i got a new hard drive in which i have installed xp sp2…. now i am not getting the old boot menu …. there is a boot menu appearing…. and both are saying MICROSOFT XP SP2
    MICROSOFT XP SP2

    now i badly want to use ubuntu… please tell me the steps to do that so that i get back the old menu settings with no harm to the new hard drive i’ve purchased yesterday… :idea: :roll:

    • zinovsky

      Please open a new topic on unixmen Forum in linux configuration—>ubuntu regarding this issue. :wink:
      ok, the boot menu is grub?
      if that is the case ,try to boot with both names, perhaps one can be of ubuntu and just the name did changed.

  • m1r0

    AFter reboot printer stops working and when i try get command captstatusui -P LBP2900 it reports captstatus error.

    only way to get it working is pass this entire tutorial and have working printer till reboot.

    any tips how to get rid off captstatus error ?

  • zinovsky

    you got errors when you type this command ?
    [quote]/etc/init.d/ccpd start[/quote]

    everytime you reboot your computer and you want to print you have to start first ccpd by typing the command above. please report if worked :)

  • m1r0

    hello mr zinovsky,

    it seems it’s printing properly after ccpd start command…

    how could i run this comand automaticly on startup so user dont have to mess with console every time he restart pc ?

  • m1r0

    managed to get all working properly.

    command for startup automaticly:

    [code]sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults 20[/code]

    many tnx for help and this excelent guide mr zinovsky

  • Pirat9

    you use too
    $ apt-get install libnewt0.51
    $ ln -s /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.51 /usr/lib/libnewt.so.0.50
    $ wget http://www.tuxx-home.at/projects/chkconfig-for-debian/chkconfig_1.2.24d-1_i386.deb
    $ dpkg –force-all -i chkconfig_1.2.24d-1_i386.deb
    and

    $sudo chkconfig ccpd on

    Cheers

    OK, The law of Mr Murphy hit me again. For some reason my bloody LBP stopped working! I really don’t know why… Any help?

    • zinovsky

      Ok,
      Try to start ccp by this command
      [quote]/etc/init.d/ccpd start[/quote]
      and then try to print if worked then add this command so that the ccpd will start next time with boot :

      [quote]sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults 20[/quote]
      Happy to help you :twisted:

      • Pixie

        Ok, a new try: printing without “/etc/init.d/ccpd start”, result: Bloody Canon remains quiet.

        (Re)starting ccpd I was able to print again. So I follow your instructions and do “sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults 20″, but receive:

        update-rc.d: warning: /etc/init.d/ccpd missing LSB style header
        System startup links for /etc/init.d/ccpd already exist.

        Hmm. Any ideas?

      • Alien

        Hi,
        I managed to get the printer to work from the local machine, still when I am able to print from the local machine, I am not able to print from the network, and the other way around: When I restart ubuntu I manage to print from the network but I can’t print from the local machine. After I do /etc/init.d/ccpd restart – I am able to print from the local machine, but I can’t print from the network :(

        Any ideas ?

  • m1r0

    delete “ccpd” from all startup entry manually , then execute comand for autostart again. reboot your pc and hope for best.

  • zinovsky

    another Option
    try to put it on the rc .local
    from the console type
    [quote]sudo gedit /etc/rc.local[/quote]
    and add at the end
    [quote]/etc/init.d/ccpd start[/quote]

    i tried this one just now in my Mandriva and worked, later will try it on other distributions and will report it to you :)

  • Pixie

    So I asked for help and received two of them, many thanks. I decided to try first zinovsky’s one – just becouse I didn’t (still dont to be honest) know how to modify startup entry.

    Anyway, editing local.rc did the job (or it seems after one succesful test)

    Cheers mates, I owe three pints now for zinovsky and one for m1r0

  • Pirat9

    go to adminstration –> printing–>
    select share published printers ….. and allow users to cancel…

    in the other clinet ubuntu machine
    administartion –. printing
    select show pirnters shared by other systems
    if the other clinet machine is Windows
    follow this link
    http://www.unixmen.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=148:haring-printer-on-ubuntu-linux-server-with-windows-&catid=1:linux-tutorials&Itemid=2

    • Alien

      thx Pirat9

      I checked again, and it all looks ok. Administration – Printing is set to Publish share printers, and users can cancel jobs.

      I have a windows – ubuntu network.
      Now, on the ubuntu I have the LBP2900 installed and shared.

      After Rebooting Ubuntu: Ubuntu cannot print on the printer (as local printer) while windows can see the printer on the network and can print on it.
      After I do sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd stop/start it goes the other way around: Ubuntu can print to the printer (as local printer) and windows cannot print from the network.

      I need to have this working in the same time.. not just one :(

      I checked the smb.conf file also. Looks like I got it right, but there is only one thing that is strange: In the smb.con file [printers] has browseable=yes but when I do testparm it sais [printers] browseable = no
      …

      As windows can print through the network untill ccpd is started, I suppose it is in the ccpd where the problem occurs..

      I am a new guy to ubuntu and linux at all.. please help me to have it fixed..

  • Pirat9

    after this step sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd start
    go to windows
    # Open the Control Panel
    #

    Click Printers and Faxes
    #

    Click Add a Printer
    #

    On the first page of the Add Printer Wizard, click Next
    #

    Choose Add a network Printer
    #

    Choose Connect to a printer on the internet and type http://SERVER_NAME:631/printers/PRINTER_NAME in the text box and then click next
    # On the next screen, Choose the correct driver for your printer
    #

    Click ok to finish
    #

    Right click the printer, choose properties, and then try to print a test page

    • Alien

      That is exactly what I was doing,

      after restarting ccpd on the ubuntu, and making sure it is printing from the local machine, I added the printer on a few windows machines as a network printer with the correct http//… path. Printing the test page failed, nothing came out of the printer :(

  • htnakirs

    I do not find the dependencies in either the Fedora repository or the Opensuse repository. These exist only in the Mandriva repository. I checked here : http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/

    Can you try installing on Opensuse or Fedora, and let us know?

  • zinovsky

    Hi,
    The repositories you can install them from your terminal, for example for fedora you have to use the command to check if cups is installed:

    [quote]su-
    yum install cups[/quote]
    for Opensuse use the command
    [quote]zypper install cups[/quote]
    if dependency is not installed then with these commands will be installed.
    be sure to add repositories to your fedora installation and suse before to make these commands .
    to add repositories on open suse see here :
    [url]http://www.unixmen.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=132:opensuse-guide-for-beginners&catid=6:suse&Itemid=11[/url]
    for fedora and Linpus see here :
    [url]http://www.unixmen.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=77:install-softwares-on-linpus&catid=13:linpus&Itemid=20[/url]
    If you need more help please ask :)

    • htnakirs

      This is the output that I get :

      Are there any other repositories that I need to add, besides the MAIN ones?

  • zinovsky

    Try to add packman repository :

    [quote]zypper addrepo –repo http://packman.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/packman/suse/11.1/Packman.repo/quote

    and try again

  • htnakirs

    Nope. It isn’t there.

    zypper install portreserve

    Which Fedora version did you successfully print ? In Fedora 9 I face the same problem of not found dependencies.

  • James

    htnakirs
    zypper install portreserve
    witch package is this ?
    there is no package named portreserve in the opensuse Linux !!
    please clarify more !!

    • htnakirs

      James, portreserve is one of the 6 dependencies that are needed.

      zinovsky, can you please indicate which Fedora distro you successfully printed in?

      • zinovsky

        Hi,
        Yes the tutorial is tested on fedora 10 ,Mandriva 2009.1 ,ubuntu 8.10, you can see the comment of Salman Baig worked for him fine on CentOS 5.2 for suse i will test it this night, did you try to install the printer without testing the repositories ? :?:

        • htnakirs

          Yes, I tried without the dependencies. I wouldn’t be here if I could get the printer working by following Canon’s instructions, which do not mention anything about the 6 dependencies – except CUPS.

          Baig seems to have blindly installed all packages under the Printing group. In another forum, he did give up trying to get the printer to run on Opensuse. In Opensuse, the Printing group does not include many of the dependencies you have listed.

    I followed all the instruction even if I found none of the dependecies packets of the preinstallation section.
    The printer does not print.
    Any suggestion?

    Thanks

      The driver 1.3.xxx still working fine for the majority of linux boxes :
      # rpm -ivh cndrvcups-common-1.3x-x.i386.rpm
      # rpm -ivh cndrvcups-capt-1.3x-x.i386.rpm

      # /etc/init.d/cups restart

      register it :

      /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -m CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E

      register the usb connection :

      Don`t use latest driver 1.80 for jaunty because this driver doesen`t support Ubuntu jaunty, you have to use an earlier version like driver 1.60 or 1.30 look here :

        hello i’m back ^_^,

        upon reformatting to fedora 11, I’ve retried installing my lbp2900 again. unfortunately, this time, I’m having a hard time configuring it.

        My computer recognises the printer but when i looked at it this is what i saw.

        Make and Model- Canon LBP2900 CAPT ver.1.5
        Status- Paused – “/usr/lib/cups/backend/ccp failed”

        PS among the dependencies, i don’t have
        printer-testpages,dynamic,libopenslp1 since its not in the rpms (fedora and rpmfusion)

        PPS when i ‘system-config-printer’, i get this:
        libnotify-Message: Unable to get session bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

        (system-config-printer.py:5940): GVFS-RemoteVolumeMonitor-WARNING **: cannot connect to the session bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

        And can anyone provide a link for the 1.3 driver? the one provided by this site(http://downloads.unixmen.com/drivers/CANONLBP2900/CAPTDRV130.tar.gz) is already dead.

        Thank you very much!!!

    hello!

    i’ve been able to successfully install the printer in fedora 11, but i’m wondering if there is a way if I could print even if I don’t turn the printer on with my computer? because its tedious/time-consuming if i need to restart my pc after discovering i need to print something, just so that my pc just to make the printer work. is there a script or command you could provide to help? thanks! :D

  • zinovsky

    Yes, you have the command in the tutorial, use this command for fedora11
    Now Set ccpd to start when you startup your computer:

    Open this file :
    [b]
    gedit /etc/rc.local[/b][quote][/quote]
    and add this line at the end
    [quote]
    /etc/init.d/ccpd start[/quote]
    with this command the printer will start automaticaly with the computer :)

  • kdblitz

    Thanks for your reply! i’ve already done that.

    However, what i meant with my question is there a way that the computer will know when i’ve turn the printer on when my computer is already running? I seldom use my printer so usually i don’t turn the power of the printer with the computer, usually i only turn it only if i need to print something. Thanks again!

  • toolpost

    Thanks a lot!.. My LBP2900B works perfectly with Fedora 11. :roll:

  • muaddip

    I am just a newbie at ubuntu. I tried to install lbp2900 with help of other web sites.
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/Canon_LBP_2900

    ı followed what said(if i could).
    now my computer recognise 2 different printers – lbp2900 and lbp29002- but they dont print.

    $ sudo ccpdadmin
    outputs correct things.

    $ captstatusui -P LBP2900

    open a new window but there is no message.

    sudo apt-get install dependenie name outputs:
    Reading package lists… Done
    Building dependency tree
    Reading state information… Done
    E: Couldn’t find package dependenies

    should i remove all things and start again?

  • zinovsky

    • Davor Dumancic

      Followed you steps and after restarting cups didn’t get the same result with tail /var/log/messages. Had to do with some problems with the USB port printer was attached to. Did all other steps but got error that printer is not ready. Plugged it in another port, restarted cups but still I got some problems. Succeeded to add it through system manager in KDE on URI: usb://Canon/LBP2900 model “Canon LBP2900 CAPT ver.1.5″. When i try to print, it sends file to print, does something and then in job log says that the printing process is finished but printed papers don’t come out.

  • Mark

    Hi Mr. Zinovsky.

    I have a fresh install of Ubuntu Karmic, and am trying to follow your instructions to setup a LBP3300.

    I find that I don’t have a /dev/usblp0/ ( or a /dev/usb/lp0 ). Do you know why this would be, or what I should do in this case?

    Thanks a lot.

  • akash

    i got an error indication like this

    SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/cups/backend/ccp “write” access on fifo0.

    Detailed Description:

    SELinux denied access requested by ccp. It is not expected that this access is
    required by ccp and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
    possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
    causing it to require additional access.

    Allowing Access:

    You can generate a local policy module to allow this access – see FAQ

    After numerous years I aborted MS and am now 6days old with Ubuntu (loaded 9.10 from a disk and upgraded from the net to 10.04 (Lucid Lynx) so at least I know the laptop will not explode. I want to install my Canon i-sensys LBP2900. found your instructions and did my best. However I see my lucid lynx see the printer but do not yet get he printer to respond by printing. Saw updates for 10.04 and is busy to install.
    (Correct Forum? Doing something wrong?)

  • Simon banks

    Hi

    I am running Karmic Koala version 9.10 and am trying to get LBP2900 to run. It has worked and will print one job then stops, and prints job on reboot, then will not run again.
    I get this simon@simon-laptop:~$ /etc/init.d/ccpd start
    * Starting Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS: ccpd ccpd: must be run as root

    Any ideas as what to do next?

    Many thanks

    In past time, I’ve installed CAPT driver on Mandriva 2009.1, Ubuntu 9.10, .. Everything is OK.
    On Ubuntu 10.04, Mint 9, CAPT is also OK (using this script[url]http://radu.cotescu.com/2010/03/20/how-to-install-canon-lbp-printers-in-ubuntu/[/url]
    But on Mandriva 2010 and PCLinuxOS 2010:
    [root@localhost zxc]# dmesg | grep ccpd
    ccpd[22278]: segfault at d ip 080500be sp bfaf76b0 error 4 in ccpd[8048000+c000]
    Please help!

    Hello there,
    I once visited this page while wandering around in search for “how to configure cannon lbp2900 on CentOS” and It did make my life easy :)

    Now I have a different story.

    OS: Fedora 13; Arch 64 bit

    I have already installed:

    capt drivers with “yum localinstall –nogpgcheck”
    (which installed dozens of undesired i686 packages with it ;)

    install cups with “yum groupinstall cups -y”

    Now when I start cups and ccpd from /etc/init.d/ it looks ok..
    but when i print a document it goes on “processing” for an everlasting time..

    I followed instructions and configured my printer as lbp2900 but when i reboot my system a new printer is automatically configured with name lbp2900-2. now both are present and both don’t print :(

    any success story on fedora 13 64bit?

    Cheers!!

  • Salman Baig

    Yesterday night I got frustrated and slept, now when i turned my pc on and tried printing a page it printed… Don’t know what I did right unknowingly :)

    Cheers!!

    • Zinovsky

      Worked for both Arch and fedora13?

  • Salman Baig

    Yeah its working on Fedora 13 64bit Arch. But captmon service consumes 100% of my processor when it starts at boot up. So the only fix is to start it manually when needed and kill it when finished printing.

    Cheers!!

  • Finemann

    Great Work guys! Keep writing awesome articles like these. I got to work my printer on F12 with your tutorial. Thanks a lot again!
