Canon LBP2900 working in Ubuntu 14.04

1. Download Linux capt driver version 2.71
   
   
2. Extract it into download folder and opened the folder for 32 bit, as my installation is 32 bit:
   downloads → linux capt... → 32 bit driver → debian
   
   
3. After that double click on the files, the Ubuntu software center opens and asks to install it. Install both the files one by one, second one first.
4. Install the following additional packages from the Ubuntu software center: portreserve, gsfonts, gsfonts-other, gsfonts-X11.
   
   
5. Restart the printer
   

   service cups restart
   

6. Add your printer
   
   
   
   7...start the printer daemon:
   

   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 service ccpd start
   sudo service ccpd status

7. Check the function of the printer:
   

   captstatusui -P LBP2900

   this will popup a new window.  

    8....If the message is error of no printer connected etc., restart
    the PRINTER 

   9...If the message is "Ready to print", you are done.
   
   10...If the message is again error of no printer connected etc., restart the operating system and repeat the steps five to seven, and it will start.

Sometimes it may stop working after restart, then run

sudo service ccpd restart
