  • Canon LBP 2900 doesn't work under Snow Leopard 10.6.3

    Canon LBP 2900 doesn't work under 10.6.3.
    It worked under 10.5.6, 10.5.7 and 10.5.8.
    The installation process is described here http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10723997#10723997
    I did the same under SL but no result.
    Any suggestion?

    The procedure of using the CAPT folder from a previous version of OS X was not always successful with 10.5, let alone 10.6. For those like you that did find it worked, there were many others that found the workaround did not work for them.
    Version 3.05 of CAPT lists the following Canon printers as supported models.
    LBP9100Cdn
    LBP7200C series
    LBP5300
    LBP5100
    LBP5050 series
    LBP3500
    LBP3310
    LBP3300
    LBP3250
    LBP3150
    LBP3108
    LBP3100
    LBP3050
    LBP3018
    LBP3010
    LBP3000
    You may have more success with trying to get this driver to work with your LPB2900. At least this version has been written for 10.6.
    If this new driver does not work with the LPB2900 then another solution would be to have an old Windows XP computer connected to the LBP2900 and then use the following procedure to print to it from the Mac.

  • Trying to install my Canon LBP 2900, tried answers here, still does not work.

    Updated to Mavericks.
    Trying to install my Canon LBP 2900. Mac book pro early 2011. I followed Klaus's instructions, restarting after each step. I can add the printer, the capt 3.66 Uk shows and installs.
    Also added the Lion patch: Library-printers-canon-cupscapt-profile.
    When I try to print the print status icon shows then closes. No documents show in queue. 
    Thanks!

    You might want to update your profile. It is showing 10.6.8.
    Are you running 10.9.4? If not, try running the combo update.

    Try resetting the printing system.

  • Yosemite Driver for Canon LBP 2900

    Hi there,
    Now that Yosemite has been installed and working well, I am left with a non-functional Canon LBP2900.  On Mavericks, it worked well with the patch but seems it doesn't carry across to the new OS.  I have reset my printer settings and re-patched the system as per Mavericks but no joy.
    Any tips? or lots of printers going into the bin!!!
    Regards

    Re: I can't use canon LBP 2900 in Yosemite 10.10.
    in response to Thet Aung
    I finally solved the problem.
    1. Delete your printer in Printers and scanners preferences.
    2. Restart computer.
    3. Download and install the following driver (version 3.67 has just been released for Yosemite): http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100420705.html
    4. Restart computer.
    5. Download and install the patch appearing at step 3 on this page: http://macdaily.me/howto/how-to-install-canon-lbp2900-on-mac-os-x-mavericks/
    6. Restart computer.
    7. Connect the printer with USB, add the driver in Printers and scanners preferences, select the appropriate driver.
    8. Enjoy the rest of the day.
    It works for me!!!

  • Working Canon LBP 2900 with Airport Express

    Hi,
    I have read many threads on how to install the lbp 2900 on the mac even though there isn't any compatible driver. Would appreciate if someone could please re-post the step by step procedure on installing the lbp 2900 to work with the mac.
    Also, would greatly appreciate if someone could assist me on HOW to get the Canon LBP 2900 to work with the AE. Is it compatible?
    Thank you very much.

    First of all, no apologies needed. There is nothing wrong with asking questions on forums and I am happy to offer my experience.
    I recommend that you look at getting a device that supports wireless or Ethernet. This will allow both Windows and Mac to connect to the device using the vendor provided drivers.
    If you are happy to stick with Canon then I can recommend the MF4380dn (for a laser based AIO) or the MP990 (for an inkjet based model).
    The MF4380dn has Ethernet standard and thus would need to connect to the Ethernet port on the Express (which may not be ideal for you as there is only one Ethernet port). But with the Ethernet connection, the UFR2 driver works fine on 10.5.8.
    If you would rather use wireless, then Canon offers no laser model with wireless support. Instead you would have to look at the inkjet models and there are plenty to choose from. I have the MP980 connected via wireless and it works fine on 10.6 and 10.5 via a Netgear wireless router. The MP990 is a successor to this model and I would expect it to work just as well.
    If you want to move away from Canon then I have read very good reports about Brother AIO's. Again, try and get one with wireless support as this will allow the most flexibility for your network and any future OS updates.

  • Problem of canon Lbp 2900 printer with my airport express

    I can install canon Lbp 2900 printer connected with my airport express,  but when I print, it shows the communication error. but when I directly install the printer to my macbook through USB, everything works fine ,it can print well. Anyone can help?
    and I followed the instructions below:
    This is what worked for me...
    The printer works with Mavericks using the new CAPT v3.65 driver available here:  http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0100420705.html  and the old Mountain Lion patch which is available here:
    https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B7kZEfXZH5ZXOEt0R2NnNVpwdDQ/edit?usp=drive_web&p li=1
    Go to System Settings / Printers and Scanners and delete your printer, then restart your computer. Install the new CAPT driver and restart your computer. Install the patch and restart your computer.
    Go to System Settings / Printers and Scanners and reinstall your printer selecting Cannon LBP2900 (CAPTuk) driver from the drivers list
    You should now have a working printer.
    Good Luck

    In crowded WiFi situations, everything will slow down. Based on your description.....it is what it is.
    I've already controlled the usage of wifi-channels around and I'm using the one with fewest users.
    You want to be the only user on a channel. Even then, users on other adjacent channels in close proximity will drag down the bandwidth/speed on the entire network.

  • Canon lbp 2900

    Please help me in driver installation of canon lbp2900. Does anyone have a ppd file for it or any other solution. Any thing that can be build from linux drivers?

    Yes it's works .
    I use the Canon CAPT driver + the Canon Lbp2900 driver:
    - Download & install the Canon CAPT driver:
    http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0028785.asp?model=
    - Download & install the Canon LBP2900 driver:
    (http://www.elverils.com/downloads/LBP2900.gz)
    & Place it into the /Library » Printers » Canon » CAPT » Profile
    & connect your printer & all is OK .
    I think it's because you don't have install the specific drivers... (for the 2900).

  • Installing Canon LBP 2900 on Mac OS 10.6.5

    A working solution !! (Works for me on Mac OS 10.6.5 - Not sure of previous versions)
    Copy these instructions onto a text file and place it on your desktop for reference. You will need to follow these instructions 100% as is.
    Step 1: Go to system preferences>print & fax> Click on any printers listed and delete them
    Step 2: Download the file: http://software.canon-europe.com/software/0028785.asp?model=
    Step 3: Install this file and wait for your mac to reboot
    Step 4: Download the file: http://boolet.free.fr/CAPT.zip
    Step 5: Unzip this file onto your desktop. Make sure it is unzipped as file name 'CAPT' - (should happen automatically since the zip file's got the same name)
    Step 6: VERY IMPORTANT - FOLLOW THIS PATH ONLY
    Go to: Finder>Macintosh HD>Library>Printers>Canon
    Step 7: If you find a folder here called CAPT, rename it to something else.
    Step 8: Copy the unzipped CAPT file folder from your desktop into this Canon folder ( Finder>Macintosh HD>Library>Printers>Canon )
    Step 9: Go to system preferences>print & fax> and add a printer by clicking on '+'
    Step 10: Click on 'Default'
    Step 11: Click on 'Canon LBP2900' under the printer list
    Step 12: Click drop down next to 'Print Using' and select 'CAPT Printer' (If it doesn't get selected automatically)
    Step 13: Click Add ( May take some time to add printer. If the busy icon doesn't disappear, switch off the printer and switch it on. The printer should get added automatically)
    Step 14: In the Print & Fax window (system preferences>print & fax), double click on Canon LBP2900 in the printer list on the left
    Step 15: The printer window will open with status as 'Printer Ready', Click on 'Printer' on file menu and click 'Print Test Page'
    Your test page MUST roll out. If it doesn't, you may have missed something. Repeat from Step 1.
    Finally, to see what you have done, go to Users>library>printers where you will see the Canon LBP2900 printer app installed. Do not mess with this!. Close all finder windows and system preferences and you are good to print.

    Great! For 10.6.7 it also works. But i needed to turn the printer off and then on after step 9. Thank you so much.

  • CANON PRINTER LBP 2900

    Hi! The reason you are having problems is because your printer is unsupported in Snow Leopard. Drivers are not included with Snow Leopard for your model and Canon has not provided any support for 10.6 Snow Leopard. For a list of supported 10.6 printers look HERE. Tom

  • Driver for Canon LBP-3000 printer

    to all,
    i could imagine tha there would be no driver of the LBP-3000 available for mac...
    i found a site, saying that there is a CAPT driver from a japanese canon's site. the problem is... the dirver fits only up to Mac OS X 10.4.4... the OS in my macbook is tiger...
    what should i do???
    thanks!

    10.4.4 is Tiger. Current build is 10.4.6. Next one coming up is 10.4.7, so this driver is supported in Tiger.
    From MacOSHints:
    After months of frustration of having to use Virtual PC running Windows XP in order to print to the Canon LBP 3000, I've finally discovered that Canon has indeed (albeit silently to the whole world) released a CAPT printer driver that works without the ridiculous requirement of having to have the Japanese version of OS X installed. This is not the Linux CUPS version, it is the full LBP CAPT driver made by Canon themselves. Software support: 10.2.8 thru to 10.4.4 (in English)
    http://cweb.canon.jp/drv-upd/lasershot/captusbmacx.html
    It apparently works with:
    LBP-2410 / 1210 / 1120 / 1110 / 1110, Premium / 1110SE, LBP5200 / 5000 / 3600 / 3500 / 3300 / 3210 / 3200 / 3000.
    I've tested it with LBP3000 on 10.4.5 (directly and via Printer Sharing). The installer is in Japanese, and it quits all applications and requires a restart, and requires you to manually setup the printer using the System Preferences. After this mild digression, you have full printer functionality and setup options (including toner usage), all in English, and it's nice and fast.
    My insanity has now gone, and I can now terminate that unnecessary relationship with Virtual PC for good!
    PS: Japanese language skills are not required, just press the default button(s) when installing. If you're looking for an excellently cheap printer, I can now seriously recommend the LBP-3000.

  • Problem while trying to use canon lbp 3050 help me please

    Dear all,
    I have a problem while using my Canon LBP 3050 printer for my Mac OS X ver 10.6.8
    I already install the programme and add new printer into my system preferences , there is a connection to the printer Canon LBP 3050 and the programme installation is working, I think because there is no warning "unsuccesfully installment" .
    But when I started to print , no respon at all but the printer status monitor showed that my printing job has been done. no pending works there.
    so can you help me to solve this problem?
    thank you in advance

    Thanks for your respons.
    I tried your suggestion and I relieve that it works. thanks.
    but… there is another problem again …
    why the result of the printing is just the up side. so the bottom side disappear. I already make sure that the ink is new.
    I try to put it off and try again and again and… the result is still the same. print the up side only (just the first line from the whole document).
    this is the driver version : 3.30
    Here is the driver that I downloaded
    http://pdisp01.c-wss.com/gdl/WWUFORedirectTarget.do?id=MDkwMDAwNzcyMjEw&cmp=ACB〈 =EN
    i think this one is the new one , isn't it?
    I'm waiting for your respon again...
    thanks a lot
