This tutorial will show you how to install Canon LPB2900 on Ubuntu,debian lenny and LinuxMint, tested also on Canon LBP3100 and is working, and should work on all the Canon laser printers LBP XXXX Series.This tutorial is an update of my ealier one but just for Ubuntu,debian lenny and LinuxMint. See my original Tutorial if you want to install CanonLBPxxxx in other linux distribution.
Good News for Ubuntu9.10 Karmic koala users, i did rebuild the 1.60 driver from Canon, Now you can follow this tutorial to install your LBPxxxx printer on ubuntu9.10 Karmic Koala (Tested on canon LBP2900), Be sure to use the rebuid driver instead of the normal1.60 driver.
Before to start the installation of Canon LBP2900 please check if these packages are installed
1/3: cups-common
2/3: portreserve
3/3: cups
If all is installed then we go further with the installation :
1- Download the driver from here, or from :
http://downloads.unixmen.com/drivers/CANONLBP2900/CAPTDRV180.tar.gz
Important note : If you are using Ubuntu9.04 Jaunty Jackalope you have to use an earlier Driver the 1.60 or 1.30 the same for LinuMint7 Gloria the driver 1.80 not supported
Important note for Karmic Koala : I have tested this tutorial in Karmic Koala and is working like a sharme , you have to use the driver that i did rebuid you can Find it in this Link
For ubuntu9.10 Karmic koala (Driver has been rebuild by Zinovsky) : CAPTDRV160-unixmen.tar.gz
For other debian based and ubuntu9.04 jaunty:
Download from this Link : CAPTDRV160.tar.gz
2- Change to the folder where you download the driver and extract it, in my case :
cd /home/zinovsky/Desktop
Driver.tar.gz change Driver with the name and version of your driver in my case i downloaded CAPTDRV160.tar.gz
3- Extrat the driver to our desktop
tar xvf CAPTDRV180.tar.gz
Output -My example-
zinovsky@zinovskyhowtos ~/Desktop $ tar xvf CAPTDRV160.tar.gz

CAPTDRV160/src/cndrvcups-common-1.60-1.tar.gz
CAPTDRV160/src/cndrvcups-capt-1.60-1.tar.gz
4- Change to the folder where you extract the drivers :
/Desktop/CAPTDRV160/driver/debian (Change 1.60 with your driver version)
ls
Output
cndrvcups-capt_1.60-1_i386.deb cndrvcups-common_1.60-1_i386.deb

5- Now install the debian package using the command :
sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_1.60-1_i386.deb
and
sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt_1.60-1_i386.deb
N.B if you got an error while trying to install the drivers,then use this command to correct the error
sudo apt-get -f install
Driver is installed .
6- Now we have to restart CUPS :
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
7-Now type tail /var/log/messages
sudo tail /var/log/messages
output -Myexample-

8- 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!!
9- /etc/initd/ccpd start :
/etc/init.d/ccpd start
10- 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
Important for Ubuntu9.04 jaunty jackalope :
If after following this tutorial you still can not print, and you got appear a second printer LBP29002 , then use this command :
1-If you got a second printer LBP29002 that appear as installed, use this command first :
lpadmin -x LBP29002 && sudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart && sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
If you can print so is ok, if not continue bellow
2- Remove this package :
sudo apt-get remove hal-cups-utils
3--Setup a launcher with a right click on your desktop and choose Create launcher :
then enter this command in the command place :
gksudo /etc/init.d/ccpd restart && /etc/init.d/cups restart

And everything will work perfectly. I already test it several times and is working.
N.B : Please don`t forget to report any issue in our forum for Canon Printers (Link to the Forum)

Apart of downloading,extracting and installing the drivers, the rest of instructions need to be done in a terminal, i tried to use th simplest way so every linux user even a newbie can understand it, and if you read the comments of people of the original tutorial you can understand that most of people they diden`t find any problem using this tutorial.
for Linuxmint,is based on Ubuntu so i mentioned LinxMint to show to the users of this distribution that this tutorial also is For Mint.
If you have any idea ,we welcome any suggestions , and also if you see any mistakes on the article even language mistakes please don1t hesitate to give your feed.

2009-07-15 07:56:16 | kdblitz - printer not working after restart...

hello, I'm currently using fedora 11 and I've successfully printed on my printer. unfortunately, after restart, I cannot seen to print any file anymore.
furthermore, when i type:
captstatusui -P LPB2900
I get this:
*** captstatusui Socket Error ***I've tried restarting ccpd and cups, but the problem still persists.
PS can I find a link to the 1.3 driver?
http://downloads.unixmen.com/drivers/CANONLBP2900/ CAPTDRV130.tar.gz is dead.
I'll try my luck there since i used 1.6 now. thanks!
-
2009-07-15 13:45:28 | zinovsky

The driver 1.6 is good for fedora 11,no need to use 1.3
see this topic in the forum :

2009-10-17 11:30:25 | Paul - Ubuntu Karmic testing - it's asking for libcupsys

Hello Zinovsky
First of all, thank you for providing such beautifully clear instructions. I've had a Canon LBP5000 for a while now and had it running nicely from Hardy through to Intrepid & Jaunty .04 and I wish I'd seen this guide when going through the hoops.
I'm now running the (final?) beta of Karmic and I think there have been changes to cups. It seems that cups is not recognising the old libcupsys2 (I think there was a dummy to handle this previously?). I think they've totally dropped the 'sys' suffix but the Canon driver still needs it.
Do you have any ideas for this? Here's what happens when I try to install the cndrvcups common deb package:
Quote:sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_1.6*.deb
Selecting previously deselected package cndrvcups-common.
(Reading database ... 154162 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking cndrvcups-common (from cndrvcups-common_1.60-1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of cndrvcups-common:

Thank you for your post, the truth i still diden`t start yet to test canon LBPXXXX in Karmic, i think is the time because just few days and karmic final will be released, i will install the beta version tomorow in my laptop ( I have karmic now but installed on Virtualbox) and will try to install my LBP2900 on it.From y think is problem of dependencies, try this command :
Quote:sudo apt-get install build-essential
i will test and will keep you informed.
I opened a Topic on the forum for canon LBPXXXX Series on Karmic at the forum, there we have where to past outputs than here in comments :

Thank you for all of your efforts.
I've tried installing your new drivers under 9.10 and the installation problem proceeds without a hitch!
However I,ve tried both the terminal based printer install that you suggest and the automatic process and both result in a printer which seems perfect in every respect, except it does not print. I get the following lines in the message log.
Do you have any advice please

zinovsky, you are a star
thanks so much for repackaging the drivers to sort out the cupsys issue. My LBP5000 now works perfectly in karmic koala 9.1. I haven't rebooted yet but it's looking good so far.
(I can't seem to print to lpr but it seems not related to the canon driver)
Thanks again

2009-11-06 01:42:59 | John T - Canon LBP 5200

Hi,
Following on from my previous, I have a nasty feeling I know what the problem is; while the Canon drivers work perfectly with the 5200 (same as 5100), the USB product ID (04A9:266E) is most likely different. Will cppd cope with this please?
Again many thanks for undertaking a difficult but much needed task.

2009-11-15 13:47:08 | Frank - Debian 5 - lenny works

Thanks a lot for your tutorial.
On my Debian 5 - lenny works fine.
Only thing is strange that needs about 30-40 sec to start printing, on ubuntu or windows OS, canon LBP2900 starts printing immediately.

I got it to work, after I followed your
instructions for the third time.
I must have made a small mistake!
Does this also work with the latest
Ubuntu, 9.10 ?

Actually with ubuntu9.10 still not working prooperly, you will have problems after restarting (with ubuntu9.10) hope that will resolve this issue soon.
Thanks for everybody s comments

Why not write instructions for human beings, after all you're talking about Ubuntu and Mint:
1. Download the .tar.gz
2. Right-click, choose "Extract here"
3. Go to the folder where files have been extracted and install by double clicking first "..common" and then "..capt" file
4. Restart
... not sure if it's possible to rewrite the rest commands, as I don't understand their meanings but you get the idea.
