Hi all,
I am trying to get a Canon LBP2900 laser printer working under F9.
Alas, the driver is (apparently) closed and not included in the Caps package, which might be a reason to avoid this printer, but be that as it may, one can download a Linux driver easily enough from Canon:
http://software.canon-europe.com/products/0010177.asp
These are the latest RPMs:
2007-12-03 08:49 cndrvcups-capt-1.60-1.i386.rpm 2007-12-03 08:49 cndrvcups-common-1.60-1.i386.rpm
Once installed, CAPS automatically recognizes the printer and selects what appears to be the correct driver:
Canon LBP2900 CAPT ver.1.5
Likewise, the printer shows up properly in dmesg:
usb 1-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 26 usb 1-4: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usblp1: USB Bidirectional printer dev 26 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x2676 usb 1-4: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=2676 usb 1-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-4: Product: Canon CAPT USB Device usb 1-4: Manufacturer: Canon usb 1-4: SerialNumber: 0000A380HGkZ
but if I try a test page, nothing happens. The only indication that something is wrong is this error message repeatedly displayed in dmesg:
usblp1: error -32 reading printer status
Any ideas what is going on here?
Thanks.

What does lpstat -t show? Is the printer enabled?

Yes, that's what I meant. Are there any other messages in /var/log/messages about usb/printer/printing/Lexmark?

of course, I meant Canon, not Lexmark.
However, is the LexMark printer working correctly?

I realized that. ;) Yes, the Z51 works fine.
Nothing else to report from the kernel log; just hundreds of these:
usblp1: error -32 reading printer status
Google turns up only a very small number of hits for this, none of which shed any light on the matter for me.
Any suggestions most welcome.
Thanks.

This couldn't be a usb1 vs usb2 issues, could it? Have you tried swapping the cables on the two usb printers to see what happens? Or tried a different usb cable?

Also, look at this link:

Maybe some information there that is pertinent.

I have an LBP5300 and works perfectly.
Just follow the installation instructions from the driver documentation. Do not use any other installation method.
My advice is that you erase any trace of the failed installation and strictly follow the installation manual.
BTW, you can get a more uptodate driver from.

Thanks, Manuel. I am downloading the more recent 1.7 version. Strange that the latest version is 1.6 at Canon Europe site -- and 1.5 at Canon Japan!
I will review the documentation tomorrow.

Kevin, thanks for your suggestions. I tried a different USB cable. No difference. I also tried disabling USB v2 by running "modprobe -r ehci_hcd" in case the LBP2900 had some obscure USB v2 issue. Likewise no luck. I also tried connecting the printer to a laptop running Ubuntu 8.04, with an older kernel than F9, 2.6.24-19. Basically the same results.
Tomorrow I will try the v1.7 version driver from Canon Asia, and see if the documentation has any pointers.

Hi again,
v1.7 of the CAPT driver has a dependency unmet in F9:
$ sudo rpm -Uvh cndrvcups-capt-1.70-1.i386.rpm cndrvcups-common-1.70-1.i386.rpm error: Failed dependencies: libstdc++.so.5 is needed by cndrvcups-capt-1.70-1.i386 libstdc++.so.5(CXXABI_1.2) is needed by cndrvcups-capt-1.70-1.i386 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2) is needed by cndrvcups-capt-1.70-1.i386 libstdc++.so.5(GLIBCPP_3.2.2) is needed by cndrvcups-capt-1.70-1.i386
I have libstdc installed, but apparently the wrong version:
$ rpm -qa | grep libstdc libstdc++-devel-4.3.0-8.i386 libstdc++-4.3.0-8.i386
What package did you install to get the v1.7 driver working under F9?
Thanks.

Try "compat-libstdc++-33"

Hi all,
Back in June, I bought a Canon LBP2900 laser printer, and tried to get it working under Fedora. After a long break, I am back again where I left off. I reinstalled the OS yesterday (F8, for complicted reasons) and I am again trying to get this printer working.
As I mentioned in my original post, I downloaded the CAPT driver from Canon Europe. Here are the RPMs I have installed:
2007-12-03 08:49 cndrvcups-capt-1.60-1.i386.rpm 2007-12-03 08:49 cndrvcups-common-1.60-1.i386.rpm
(the later v1.7 package referred to earlier by another lister is no longer available)
Once installed, CAPS automatically recognizes the printer and selects what appears to be the correct driver: Canon LBP2900 CAPT ver.1.5
Likewise, the printer shows up properly in dmesg:
usb 1-7: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 usb 1-7: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice usblp1: USB Bidirectional printer dev 10 if 0 alt 0 proto 2 vid 0x04A9 pid 0x2676 usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=04a9, idProduct=2676 usb 1-7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 usb 1-7: Product: Canon CAPT USB Device usb 1-7: Manufacturer: Canon usb 1-7: SerialNumber: 0000A380HGkZ
but if I try a test page, nothing happens. The only indication that something is wrong is this error message repeatedly displayed in dmesg:
usblp1: error -32 reading printer status
Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks.
