How do I get a Canon LBP 2900 printer working?
- by elektron
i am unable to set up my canon lbp2900 printer on ubuntu12.04 64 bit i aliened the 64 bit rpm drivers and then installed the drivers (version 2.40) and followed the procedure in the canon guide ( however i changed fifo path to //localhost:59787 (somebody suggested) instead of 59687 (as suggested by canon guide) )
intially i got the message pstocapt failed .. the drivers had put the pstocapt and backend/ccp in the lib64 directory instead of the lib directory ... i copied that to the aproprite directory under lib
but still i get the error "ccp send_data error exit " i also tried with fifo path //localhost:59687
i also tried the Radu script but the drivers the script uses are version 1.90 and has conflicting packages
