And so upon upgrading to the LTS release, i let my laser printer gather dust for the past few months before i decided to reconfigure it today... i followed the steps in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190
but now i'm getting this error in the printer status:Idle - File "/usr/lib/cups/filter/pstocapt" not available: No such file or directory
Please help!!!
i'm using canon LBP2900 and OS is ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
the same printer was working well in ubuntu 11.10
thanks in advance for your help :)
