Canon Lbp 2900 Printer Drivers For Ubuntu

I had install all the available drivers for Canon LBP 2900 on Ubuntu (Linux) but it's not working. Because the printer model is LBP 2900B instead of LBP 2900. Can you arrange the drivers for LBP 2900B for. To setup Canon LBP 2900 in Ubuntu, FIRST you doubleclick on the second.deb file to install: cndrvcups-common_2.60-1_amd64.deb. And than the first.deb file to install: cndrvcups-capt_2.60-1_amd64.deb “I install always first gdebi to install downloaded.deb Canon LBP 2900 driver files.

There is a PPA with Canon drivers: https://launchpad.net/~michael-gruz/+archive/canon

Canon PIXMA iP6700

Yes

Yes

v8.10 (Intrepid)

Detected correctly as Canon MP960. You have to fool the computer into thinking it is a PIXMA iP6700. The iP6700 and the MP960 use the same kind of ink cartridges, but the MP960 has a seventh one (PGI-5BK Pigment Black) used for text purpose only. I believe this last cartridge is not used by the driver at all. Printing quality is very good for text. Pictures look a little bit washed out, but you can improve this if you change the default settings offered (brightness, contrast, saturation). Resolution locked to 600x600 DPI (this is a printer with a resolution of 9600 x 2400 DPI).

Printer works if you assign the BJC-7000 Gimp driver to it using the add printer wizard. Scanning works fine as well. I have had issues with paper drawing from the lower cassette. This is true of the MP500 driver as well. Sometimes it works and others it doesn't. Using the manual feed door, it seems to do everything fine.
