This article describe installing cannon CAPT driver by compiling from source
The details ment here are for 64Bit Ubuntu 9.10 System Karmic Kola and LBP3200 printer. I had complied this article from the reference below
If Possible switch Off the Printer until we complete installation of driver this may avoid auto installation of the driver after we complete the steps.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters/CanonPrinters/Canon_LBP_2900#Compiling%20the%20driver%20%28amd64 %29%20Steps:Use Case
1. Compile Cannon Driver from latest source
2. Install Compiled Driver
3. Automate loading the CAPT demon
Files to Download
Cannon Linux Printer Driver (CAPT) Source
http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0900772411.htmllibcupsys2.deb
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty-updates/all/libcupsys2/downloadThis is a dummy package installing it will solve dependancy issue installing capt-common package
Note: Deb Packages can be directly installed by right clicking it and selecting option open with “GDebi Package Installer”
Step1 - Installing the Required packages to compile the driver
Install following packages before start compiling (Some Package may report already installed such case leave as such and contiune installing others)
Install Debian package development tools
Install libcupsys2 Download the deb from here
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty-updates/all/libcupsys2/downloadInstall The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 (development files)
Install helper programs for debian/rules
Install automatic configure script builder
Install Development files for the GLib library
Install Development files for the GTK+ library
Install A system independent dlopen wrapper for GNU libtool
Install library for common error values and messages in GnuPG components
Install Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - Development files CUPS library
Install Development files for the GNOME XML library
sudo apt-get install build-essential
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6-4.4-dev
sudo apt-get install debhelper
sudo apt-get install autoconf
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
sudo apt-get install libltdl-dev
sudo apt-get install libgpg-error-dev
sudo apt-get install libcups2-dev
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev
Step2 – Unpacking the Source
tar xfz CAPT_Printer_Driver_for_Linux_Src_V190_uk_EN.tar.g z
cd CAPT_Printer_Driver_for_Linux_Src_V190_uk_EN/Src/
tar xfz cndrvcups-common-1.90-1.tar.gz
tar xfz cndrvcups-capt-1.90-1.tar.gz
Step3 – Compiling cndrvcups-common-1.90-1
cd cndrvcups-common-1.90
gedit ./debian/control
Change “Architecture: i386” to “Architecture: amd64” save and close editor
dpkg-buildpackage
The debian package cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_amd64.deb will be placed in CAPT_Printer_Driver_for_Linux_Src_V190_uk_EN/Src
Step4 – Installing cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_amd64.deb
This package need to be installed before starting the next step compiling the cndrvcups-capt source depends some library from cndrvcups-common
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-common_1.90-1_amd64.deb
Step5 – Compiling & Installing cndrvcups-capt-1.90-1
cd cndrvcups-common-1.90
gedit ./debian/control
Change “Architecture: i386” to “Architecture: amd64” save and close editor
gedit ./debian/rules
Comment the option dh_shlibdeps by adding “#” at the start of the line It should look like as below after editing
# dh_shlibdeps
save and close editor
dpkg-buildpackage
The debian package cndrvcups-capt_1.90-1_amd64.deb will be placed in CAPT_Printer_Driver_for_Linux_Src_V190_uk_EN/Src
sudo dpkg -i cndrvcups-capt_1.90-1_amd64.deb
Now our cannon driver is installed and ready to configure
Step6 – Editing the startup script for starting CAPT daemon
I had modified the ccpd startup script to make it little polished
#!/bin/sh
# startup script for Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS (ccpd)
# Modified for Debian GNU/Linux
DAEMON=/usr/sbin/ccpd
LOCKFILE=/var/lock/subsys/ccpd
NAME=ccpd
DESC="Canon Printer Daemon for CUPS"
test -f $DAEMON || exit 0
. /lib/lsb/init-functions
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin
ccpd_start ()
{
log_begin_msg "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --oknodo --exec ${DAEMON}
log_end_msg $?
}
ccpd_stop ()
{
log_begin_msg "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --oknodo --signal 15 --exec ${DAEMON}
log_end_msg $?
}
case $1 in
start)
ccpd_start
;;
stop)
ccpd_stop
;;
status)
echo "$DESC: $NAME:" `pidof $NAME`
;;
restart)
log_begin_msg "Restarting $DESC: $NAME"
ccpd_stop
sleep 2
ccpd_start
log_end_msg $?
;;
*)
echo "Usage: ccpd {start|stop|restart|status}"
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
Lets us start editing the script
cd /etc/init.d
sudo cp ccpd ccpd-old
sudo gedit ccpd
delete all existing content and replace with the above script, save and close the editor
Step7 – Setting the printer for CUPS
sudo /etc/init.d/cups restart
sudo /usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP3200 -P /usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP3200CAPTK.ppd -v ccp:/var/ccpd/fifo0 -E
This will add printer LBP3200
Step8 – Setting the printer for CAPT
sudo /usr/sbin/ccpdadmin -p LBP3200 -o /dev/usb/lp0
This will add printer LBP3200 to the CAPT monitor (daemon)
Step9 – Automating CAPT while booting the system
sudo update-rc.d ccpd defaults 50
Edit*
We are using 50 which means the ccpd is one the the last daemons to start This point is noted by TommyBoy
Step10 – Finalisation
Now we are done all setting now its time to switch on our printer. Connect your printer and power on. As soon as the printer is connected Ubuntu auto install a new driver for our printer and make it as default printer.
Now our final step is to chage our set printer to default and disable the auto installed printer (Note: do not delete the printer auto installed by Ubuntu, since Ubuntu will reinstall the printer again after a restart so its better to disable it or leave it as is)
Steps to change default Printer
Select
System->Administrator->PrintingThis will list all the printer installed, right click the printer named LBP3200 and select (click) Set Us Default
Right click the auto installed printer by Ubuntu (LBP3200-2) and uncheck Enabled.
Now we are complete Lets Restart the computer.
“Success“ our printer is now ready to print, “Happy Computing”
