How to install the Canon LBP2900i printer in Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

[MarkMatis]

First attempt did not work. Still getting the "Package libglade2-0 is not installed." when I intially run the installation. I do sudo apt-get install -f which installs it. I then have tried running reset-printer with no luck. I have also uninstalled, reinstalled per Radu's script, done the apt-get to take care of the missing package, done ANOTHER install per Radu's script, and then reset-printer. Either way, printing a test page seems to send, but nothing prints. I do notice that if I wait a while, the system throws a Ubuntu error and asks to send a message. Details say there is a non-Ubuntu package installed and recommend delete. I had to swap out a U-Verse modem and set up a wireless connection, so I won't get a chance to upload tonight, but Wednesday I will try to undo everything, reboot, and restart from scratch. I will upload the messages I get, and will post them to see if you can help me figure out where the problem is. I see you said you had upgraded to 13, this computer is still at 12.04.3, which is where I initially found this failure.

I was tied up yesterday and unable to go through thoroughly, but here is what I did today:

Initial steps:

Initial steps:


Uninstalled LBP6000 using Radu's script.
Deleted Canon Pixma IP6600D printer.
Removed reset-printer from Startup Applications
Cleared thelma ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL from sudoer file
Rebooted

[MarkMatis]

After 1st Reboot:


Re-extracted Radu's files to make sure I had not corrupted anything.
Left:
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p $PRINTER_MODEL -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPS${PRINTER_SMODEL}CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59687 -E
as-is for initial attempt. I understand that “59687” may need to change to “59787” and fix blacklist per
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190
Left canonLBP_install.sh referencing 2.20-1 for initial attempt even though latest driver is 2.60-1

Bleeding hell man! I'm so sorry you've had such an almighty headache trying to get it to work. I'm at a loss now as I lack the necessary expertise to take you futher than you have already gone. I can only reiterate it worked for me in the way I described. Which is, of course, of abolutely no use to you whatsoever. I'm really sorry I can't help further at this point. I will go back and try and retrace my steps to see if there is anything I have missed and, if so, post it here. That's all I can do really. If we're really lucky, someone else who is more knowledgeable will see this thread and post something on here as well.

[MarkMatis]

Thank you for all your help! Your initial post got me through the problems back in March, and it was working fine up until late November or early December when some Ubuntu update broke things. I actually have gone all the way back to a clean install of 12.04.2 32-bit but have been unable to even get that to work. It would seem there are some problems with libglade2-0 at very least, and it also seems that "/dev/usb/lp0" also now won't work, since I don't believe I got that error message from reset-printer.sh when I initially installed the printer. It's a shame because this printer really works great under Windows. I have dual boot on my machine due to some software I need to use which doesn't have a Linux version, so I ran my Christmas card envelopes with it. About 10 seconds from turning it on until it's ready to print, it does crisp clear B+W printing, and since it uses toner instead of ink cartridges, it works great for someone who doesn't need to print things at least once a week.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas, and wishing you a Happy New Year!

[stevecook]

Okay, final update to this thread.

For all revisions of Ubuntu 12.04.* this works, at least on my Pentium D.

In order of operations:

(1) Install Synaptic Package Manager from the control centre, if you don't already have it installed on your system.

(2) Open Synaptic Package Manager.

(3) Copy and paste ia32-libs into the search box at the top of Synaptic Package Manager. The application will appear in a box below. Mark it for installation. Then press the apply button.

(4) Close Synaptic Package Manager when the above has been installed.

(5) Open the Software Centre.

(6) Copy and Paste ubuntu restricted extras into the search box. When it appears, below, install it.

(7) Close the Software Centre.

(8) Download the following file (gs-esp_8.71.dfsg.1-0ubuntu5.5_all.deb) from http://packages.ubuntu.com/uk/lucid/all/gs-esp/download and, when downloaded, double click it and it will open in the Software Centre. When it does, install it.

(9) Go back to the start of this thread and follow my original instructions on here for installing the Cannon LBP2900 printer.

One final thing to note:

I have been trying to migrate across to Xubuntu from Ubuntu because I by far prefer the XFCE desktop over even Gnome and most certainly over Unity. What has previously stopped me is the terrible hassle trying, more or less unsucessfully, to get my LBP2900 printer to work in Xubuntu. By doing the above in Ubuntu 12.04 and then overlying it with an installation of Xubuntu dektop, I finally have what I want; an Xubuntu installation with the my damned printer working at the same time!

I should reiterate: all of the above works on my 32 bit installation. I cannot vouch for it working on the 64 bit.

[pdc]

thanks Steve; you have put a lot of work into the LBP series;

I wasn't sure as I went back through your thread; as to which (32bit/64bit) that folks were running; (Seems to me the 32bit is a lot easier..........) ....

We have a 32bit 12.04 system; and I just installed the Canon CAPT driver 2.4 driver; (using deb packages); and it just works; ...(I did follow the Sivella guide http://doc.ubuntu-fr.org/tutoriel/in...lote_canon_lbp to register the printer etc)......I did try the radescu script on an early install....................

I was curious you recommend the ia32packages for a 32bit install; as I had understood they were only needed for a 64bit install
