Hey everyone !!
I have a printer but I have no idea of how can I install the printer driver in linux can anyone help me…
Printer details
Name: LASER SHOT LBP2900 from canon
Download the latest version, unpack the archive and try installing the RPMs:
- i-SENSYS LBP2900 - Support - Download drivers, software and manuals - Canon UK
- CAPT Printer Driver for Linux V2.71
If it reports AVC errors in the log, consider disabling SELinux, at least for troubleshooting.
If it still doesn’t work, extract the PPD file from the same archive for manual installation.

Try to find the relevant errors/warnings in the log:
Viewing logs in Fedora :: Fedora Docs
Also temporarily switch to the permissive SELinux mode for testing:
sudo setenforce 0; getenforce

Remove all jobs and restart both PC and printer, then start log monitoring:
journalctl -f
Try to print something and post the output to pastebin.com.
Hi there I tried it but look it did not work
Could it be because I use a firewall
I am using a simple firewall
would that give trouble to printing?
I need to get this printer working please help

Firewall should not affect the locally connected printer, but you can try to stop it for testing.

Hi There !!
I wanted a follow up topic on my previous issue…
I have no idea to create a follow up topic so I am creating a new topic here
My printer has no issue nor does my computer
I installled the drivers and now they are running on my computer but when it comes to printing my docs it does not ??
I had kept SELinux to pessimistic mode and also disabled firewall for concern that it might be messing with internal network between my computer and printer…
But still I am unable to print anything
If anybody have any idea on how to fix this please help !!
you could try this solution:
Summarize
-
Go to the Canon Asia website (or any other Canon website) and download the CAPT Printer Driver for Linux V2.71 from this link.
-
Extract it to get a folder containing directory 64-bit_Driver/RPM, enter inside.
-
Install the package
sudo dnf install cndrvcups-capt-2.71-1.x86_64
sudo dnf install cndrvcups-common-3.21-1.x86_64
- Restart the printer.
sudo systemctl restart cups.service
- Add printer and start the Canon 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 systemctl start ccpd.service
sudo systemctl status ccpd.service
- Check the printer status.
captstatusui -P LBP2900
also you can see the README file README-capt-2.71UK.txt in the Doc Directory.
