<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Ed and all,<br>
<br>
I managed to make it work by reading the documentation in deep.
The problem was this:<br>
<br>
As said in the readme file of the Doc directory that comes with
the CATP driver package,<br>
I had to use -P <full-path-to-the-PPD-file>:<br>
<br>
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -P
/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v
ccp://localhost:59687 -E<br>
<br>
while the instructions I found on Google use the -m:<br>
<font color="Red">/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP2900 -m
CNCUPSLBP2900CAPTK.ppd -v ccp://localhost:59787 -E</font><br>
<br>
To summarize the steps as this may benefits someone else later:<br>
<br>
- Download and install CAPT driver package from here:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i-SENSYS_LBP2900.aspx?type=download&page=1">http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i-SENSYS_LBP2900.aspx?type=download&page=1</a><br>
- Register the printer with this command:<br>
/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p LBP5000 -P
/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd -v
ccp://localhost:59687 -E<br>
<br>
where the PPD file got placed in the folder /usr/share/cups/model/
by the driver package installed in the above step.<br>
- Start the CCP daemon:<br>
/etc/init.d/ccpd start<br>
- Print a TestPage<br>
<br>
I could also use the "Add Printer" link from the CUPS Web page
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://localhost:631/admin">http://localhost:631/admin</a> and specifying the correct Device URI
(ccp://localhost:59787/) and selecting the correct PPD file
(/usr/share/cups/model/CNCUPSLBP5000CAPTK.ppd).<br>
<br>
If TestPage does not work, try to restart the printer. <br>
<br>
I found that, when I plug in the printer, the CUPS system
adds/installs automatically; however that one does not work and if
I tried to print TestPage with it; I won't work and mess it all
up: the printer won't print any more even with the correct setup I
had before. I need to restart the printer to make it work again.<br>
<br>
That is all my observations.<br>
<br>
Now, I need a little more help: how can I disable the automatic
adding/installing of printer by CUPS?<br>
I tried with "Browsing Off" in /etc/cups/cupsd.conf" but did not
do it.<br>
<br>
Again, thanks for all the help so far, very much appreciated.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Khem<br>

<pre wrap="">What I would do is....
1. Download this from canon...
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i-SENSYS_LBP2900.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:13-1060371&page=1&type=download">http://www.canon-europe.com/Support/Consumer_Products/products/printers/Laser/i-SENSYS_LBP2900.aspx?DLtcmuri=tcm:13-1060371&page=1&type=download</a>
2. Un-tar the download....
3. Then go to where you un-tared ..../Linux_CAPT_PrinterDriver_V256_uk_EN/Doc
4. Un-tar guide-capt-2.56UK.tar.gz and then point your browser to <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file://...../guide-capt-2.56UK/index">file://...../guide-capt-2.56UK/index</a>
They seem to have put a fair amount of effort into documentation.

<pre wrap="">Please note that the instructions are prior to the introduction of "systemd". So, you'll need to adjust for that. It may be "slightly" more complex.
