Canon LBP2900 printer

[Mamunson]

Hi there,

I have a Canon LBP2900 printer and can’t find that specific driver. What can I do about it? I’m trying to install the printer via Yast. I use OpenSuse Leap 15.5. Grateful for your guidance.

Hi, I downloaded the CAPT Printer Driver for Linux V2.71, extracted the folder, started Yast, selected the 64 driver but it’s empty. I tried selecting the entire folder but the same problem as when I select the 64 driver.

There are 2 rpms inside /linux-capt-drv-v271-uken/64-bit_Driver/RPM/

There is also an Doc directory, read the README-capt-2.71UK.txt

You can also use zypper to install:
zypper in /path/to/the/directory/xxxxx.rpm

Problem: nothing provides 'libcaepcm.so.1' needed by the to be installed cndrvcups-capt-2.71-1.x86_64
 Solution 1: do not install cndrvcups-capt-2.71-1.x86_64
 Solution 2: break cndrvcups-capt-2.71-1.x86_64 by ignoring some of its dependencies

ignore, because you have downloaded the rpm and zypper does not know, where to get the responding key.

Thats a normal behavior.

Not sure what you’re trying to convey now. I see that you’ve manged to install the drivers, but please confirm how your printer is connected (USB or network).

[Mamunson]

The printer is connected to the PC via USB but I get this message:

I tried to reset the password by typing sudo lpadmin -p printer_name -E -v printer_uri -o auth-info-required=negotiate but received:

lpadmin: Bad device-uri "printer_uri".
mamunson@dynamic-pd01:~> 

I tried to login in via http://localhost:631 and it asked me for a username and a password. I typed root for username and by root password and I was able to see the View Access Log.

[deano_ferrari]

Yes, I’m not sure that the URI is correct for this particular driver implementation. This range of printers uses a proprietary driver to provide support for CAPT (Canon Advanced Printing Technology).

More info
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Canon_CAPT#Configuration

[deano_ferrari]

I think you’ll need to configure using something like

sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -m CNCUPSLBP2900CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E  
sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP2900 -o /dev/usb/lp0
sudo systemctl start ccpd.service
sudo systemctl status ccpd.service
